Sexual Assault via Bluetooth

LONDON – They say that short-range wireless technologies will revolutionize our lives, but there's one use that its creators likely never envisioned – as a means of sexual assault.

The Watford Observer reports that 25-year-old Hassan Ahmed allegedly used a Bluetooth device to send indecent pictures to a 33-year-old woman riding to work on the subway.

The case clearly outlines the challenges faced by mobile adult content providers and the legislators seeking to regulate such activities.

The unnamed victim was using her Bluetooth device when Ahmed boarded the sparsely-occupied train.

"She was clearly targeted," Sandi Evison, Ahmed's prosecutor, said. "He sent her five pornographic images from his Bluetooth phone. "

The victim was reportedly "petrified" upon receiving the images, but her woes were just beginning.

"Having sent the images he proceeded to sit diagonally opposite her and masturbate in front of her," Evison said. "He was whistling and waving with one arm while trying to get her attention."

Evison reported that the victim "remained in contact with her employer over the phone and when she had the opportunity she changed carriages." The victim also saved the images and reported Ahmed to station staff.

Ahmed, who works for a pre-school football team, had no previous convictions. He was traced through London's video surveillance system and ID'd through his commuter pass.

Ahmed pleaded guilty to indecent exposure, for which he was sentenced to three years of community service and ordered to attend a sex offenders' treatment program.

Ahmed also pleaded guilty to sending indecent images, to which he received a conditional discharge and was ordered to pay £750 in compensation to the victim along with £400 in prosecution costs.

Ahmed was not prohibited from working with children, though he will be listed in the sex offenders register for five years.
