US EditionMan who tried to grope two teenage girls on Bournemouth beach jailed
- Damien Gloster, a 40-year-old man with no fixed address, was handed a ten-year prison sentence at Birmingham Crown Court on May 7, 2025, after being convicted of committing sexual offenses against two adolescent boys in Birmingham the previous year.
- The assaults took place on two separate dates in 2024: the first occurred on May 11 when Gloster attacked a 15-year-old boy aboard a train traveling the route from Barnt Green to Selly Oak, and the second happened on July 16 at Northfield station, where he targeted a 16-year-old boy.
- During the trial, evidence was presented that Gloster coaxed a 16-year-old boy into a wooded area before assaulting him, and the judge characterized him as a harmful and exploitative sexual offender.
- British Transport Police emphasized zero tolerance for sexual offenses on the rail network, urging the public to save phone number 61016 to report any incidents immediately.
- Gloster will remain on the Sex Offenders Register for life, and officials hope the sentencing reassures victims and deters future offenses on public transport.
