'Sex with a fence' man walks free

A drunken West End reveller who tried to have sex with a fence has walked free from court.

Daniel French, 24, of Verity Way, Stevenage, had clambered into a locked park in the early hours of Sunday morning, when he made "sexual motions" towards iron railings and proclaimed to police: "I'm going to have sex with a fence."

Asked at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court whether he made the bizarre comment he denied making a pass at the metalwork, saying: "That's disgusting."

He protested to magistrates: "That's not right at all about the fence. I was surrounded by three big police officers. I felt I was being bullied and wanted to go home. They were pushing me against the fence and trying to provoke me.

"The suggestion that I was trying to do something sexual to the railings is disgusting."

Magistrates sentenced him to the time he had spent in custody since his arrest.
