Alican Reilly, 21, appeared so convincingly ‘official’ that one victim thought he might be a police officer or ticket inspector.And did he behave how you might expect a police officer or ticket inspector to behave? Say, identifying himself and asking to check your ticket?
Reilly rubbed himself through his jeans as he handled the women’s shoes or touched their feet.Ummm…
He first struck on 28 October 2010 on a train from Kew Bridge towards Clapham Junction, Blackfriars Crown Court heard Reilly told the victim he liked her boots and asked her if they came off, but she replied "no, they staying on".OK, so, that can be interpreted as a clumsy conversational gambit that failed. Who hasn’t been the recipient of one of these..? No harm, no foul.
The next victim was travelling on the top deck of an empty bus from Coldharbour Lane in Hayes towards Harrow on 17 April 2014 when Hayes came and sat beside her.
"He asked me to take my boots off, it sounded very official like maybe he was a ticket inspector or CID or with the police - I felt like I had to," she said.
Reilly then ran his hands all over her boots and put his hand inside them, before putting his hands on her feet and rubbing them "almost like a massage." He asked the woman if he could keep her boots, but she refused.
The woman said: "I didn’t feel like I could call for help because he was so official with me - I didn’t like the way he touched me, it made me feel very uncomfortable."You have to be kidding me..!
She added: "No one has the right to touch me, I didn’t give him permission."Well, yes, yes you did, because you didn’t not give permission! You simply sat there like a cowed prey animal hoping the mauling wouldn’t be fatal!
She was so concerned she left her seat and went and sat close to another male passenger and told him what had happened.Brilliant survival strategy! Now he knows you are a pathetic victim type, and if the feminist whackjobs were right and ‘all men are rapists!’ you’ve just compounded your troubles.
Luckily for you, they aren’t.
A month later on 28 May 2014, Reilly approached a 14 year-old-girl on the Metropolitan line as she made her way home from a day out with a friend. Again he sat down beside her, despite the fact the train was almost empty, and told her she had nice shoes and asked where she got them from and how she took them off. Once he had tricked her into taking her boots off, he began feeling her feet while covering his crotch with a newspaper so he could rub his genitals.She’s 14, so I’m inclined to give some leeway. Not much, though.
He was eventually tracked down by British Transport Police via his freedom pass but was declared unfit to plead because of his profound autism.Oh, shocker!
Following the jury’s decision, Judge Peter Clarke QC said: "Not only is what he did to those woman wholly unacceptable, but also consider what a man witnessing this sort of behaviour might do to him."Yes, you see, he might be the real victim!
Well, we can but hope…
He told Reilly there was "no question of a prison sentence" but ordered him to return to court on 21 September to determine future mental health treatment. The judge said: "Authorities are very strapped for cash at the moment but it’s important that they do everything we can to try and help."I’d rather you helped the women this pervert targets, but then, they don’t seem to help themselves, do they?

Women must have been told for so long that they have the right to sit on a train without their feet being fondled, that when it actually happens, they have no idea how to react.
I bet if this happened in Texas, the poor autistic victim would probably have been shot dead :-)
I see it being slightly different, as I always do.
I see it that people are being training to be so subservient to authority that anyone who has a badge, or appears to, is expected to be obeyed and these people are simply showing they have been trained correctly. People get arrested for refusing to follow orders from the Stasi even when those orders have no legal backing.
Just keeping the plebs in their place. It is clearly working.
YEah I wonder how Judge Judy would have judged that one...
I have a foot fetish although I don't use it as a gambit to solicit a first date. Once enconced I feel free to put on a uniform flash my 'badge' and persuade the object of my attentions to doff her footware. In my experience I then ask her to put them back on rather smartish. Foot hygienne has gone to the dogs and when was the last time did anyone have a pedicure? There is no profit in being a pervert these days, especially as the lasses are so subservient no thrill of 'the chase'.
Now he knows you are a pathetic victim type,
Bit harsh. Depending on the age of the young women, they have been bombarded for years with propaganda which says they must not discriminate on any grounds at all.
You or I take one look at Alican Reilly - probably one sniff from 5 yards - and we move away. But younger people are told they must overcome their caution towards people with obvious disability, special needs, whatever, and they will be the bad ones for refusing to talk to them.
Unfortunately, if the plea in mitigation was correct and this person really does have a level of autism which damages his ability to understand and comply with the standards of decency, then the criminal law may have very little effect on him.
It is hard to tell from a twitter stream but it is possible that the solicitor was making a fair point.

He also has a flicker collection and seems to have spent a long time hanging around outside Elstree studios, building up pictures of him standing next to tellypersons. He usually drapes his arm round them. I gather many of these people are EastEnders.

Bus spotter, too.
I always thought there was something weird about bus spotters. Now I know it.

Yup, day 2 at Ticket Collector skool and day 3 at police Academy
"I bet if this happened in Texas, the poor autistic victim would probably have been shot dead :-)"
Heh!
"I see it that people are being training to be so subservient to authority that anyone who has a badge, or appears to, is expected to be obeyed and these people are simply showing they have been trained correctly."
Good point! And WoaR introduces another option too. We are handicapping ourselves to predators. And even the deranged ones are realising this.
"Bus spotter, too."
YCMIU!
