A PERVERT train guard who was caught peeping over a cubicle wall by a stunned teenager is set to be sentenced.

Andrew Bibbins, a train manager for Great Western Railway, was caught red handed spying on an 18-year-old man who was sat on a toilet at Reading Station.

The teenager confronted 47-year-old Bibbins, who barged past the victim and headed for the concourse lift.

However, the young man followed Bibbins and snapped a picture of him on his mobile phone.

Bibbins denied a single count of voyeurism but was convicted by magistrates. He will be sentenced at a later date.

Sobia Ali, prosecuting at Reading Magistrates' Court, said: "He [the victim] noticed something from the top of the cubicle.

"He noticed someone was peering over the top and he noticed a black object in that person's hand. He assumed it to be a mobile phone.

"He waited for the person to leave the cubicle so he could confront him. The person did leave the cubicle but shoulder barged past him and left the public toilets."

Magistrates heard how the teenage victim followed Bibbins across the station concourse and took a picture on his mobile phone on December 2, 2016

The victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said: "I was worried about the sexual connotations.

"I kept worrying about it.

"I got out of the cubicle and waited for him so he could explain himself. He pushed me aside and quickly stormed out of the toilets.

"I followed him out trying to catch him but he started walking quicker and quicker."

Tom Prymer, defending Bibbins, told magistrates his client had been wrongly identified by the victim.

The victim had said in his original interview that the man was wearing a light pink tie and was around 58 or 59 years old.

Mr Prymer added: "He [the victim] mentioned reddish skin. He [the defendant] is not a man with reddish skin.

"It's 46 versus 58 or 59.

"It's a pink tie versus a green tie."

Bibbins, of Wykeham Road, Reading, was convicted of a single count of voyeurism.

He will be sentenced at the same court at a later date.

Heather Quillish, chairman of the bench, said: "He [the victim] saw Bibbins exit the cubicle and maintained visual contact until such time that the photo was taken."
