Man jailed over indecent exposure on bus and for attacking his ex-partner

ROUGH SLEEPER HAD ALSO THREATENED TO HURT RAIL STAFF

- By MARTIN NAYLOR

A BUS driver caught a 61-year-old Nottingham rough sleeper committing an indecent act on the back seat while the vehicle had women and children passengers on it.

Nottingham Crown Court was told how Adrian Wildgust also attacked his long-term partner of 17 years in her own home during a spate of separate offences after his life descended into what a judge called “a miserable and wretched existence”.

The now homeless defendant, who had been living at the Broad Marsh bus station, then drunkenly threatened to break the legs of two staff at Nottingham railway station after trying to get through the barriers without a ticket.

In a victim impact statement, the now ex-partner he assaulted told how she fears he will come after her when he is released from jail.
