Paulius Grabauskas 31

Description

A man who performed a sexual act on himself in front of a child has been jailed.

Paulius Grabauskas, 31, was already on police bail for other offences when he approached the 14-year-old girl in Derby Drive, Dogsthorpe, Peterborough, at 9.30am on 17 July.

He took a sex toy from a bag and used it to perform a sexual act on himself in front of her.

Grabauskas had also been reported to police in April after he exposed and touched himself inappropriately in view of other passengers on a bus in Peterborough.

Then in June, Grabauskas was reported to police once again after he was seen performing an indecent act in a bush near a primary school in Orton Goldhay, Peterborough.

At Cambridge Crown Court on Friday (30 October), Grabauskas, of Eastfield Road, Peterborough, was jailed for two years and three months after admitting two counts of exposure and one count of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child.

He was also handed a ten-year sexual harm prevention order (SHPO).

Det Sgt Angus Cashman, who investigated, said:

“Grabauskas is clearly a dangerous individual who has no control over his sexual urges.

“His crimes will have a lasting impact on all of his victims - especially the 14-year-old girl who he targeted and subjected to a disturbing act for his own sexual gratification.

“I am pleased he has now faced justice and I’m glad the sentence reflects the seriousness of his actions.”
