A man with a fetish for children’s playground equipment has been banned from going anywhere that has a slide. Coventry Christopher Johnson, aged 46, of Stoke in Coventry, was arrested after simulating a sexual act with a slide at Stoke Green Park.



He pleaded guilty at Coventry Magistrates Court to outraging public decency by behaving in an indecent manner and received a three-year Criminal Behaviour Order. The order bans him from attending any location, including parks, leisure centres, swimming baths, lidos or recreation grounds were there is a slide.

Johnson also received a three-year community order, which includes having sex offender treatment for 18 months, and a rehabilitation activity requirement. He was fined £55 and had to pay a £60 victim surcharge, £85 costs and a £180 criminal courts charge.



Police were called to Stoke Green Park at 10.45pm on Wednesday, August 18, after four people spotted what he was doing. The court heard Johnson had a previous conviction for a similar offence. On July 1 last year, Johnson outraged public decency by undressing and performing a sexual act on the top of a slide at Coundon Hall Park in Waste Lane, Keresley.
