- An adult performer who filmed himself and his former partner having a threesome on a Tube train in front of passengers have been fined £1,000. Porn actor George Mason, 35, and Nicholas Mullan, 24, romped with a third man, who has not been identified, on a Northern Line train between Leicester Square and Waterloo. The incident happened in July 2017 but was not reported until February last year, when it was posted on Twitter. Mason, of John Ruskin Street, Southwark, south-east London, and Mullan, of Castlehume Gardens, Belfast, admitted outraging public decency at an earlier hearing. They were sentenced at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday after magistrates were shown stills from the video footage.
- Chairing the bench, Lucinda Lubbock said they had been "humiliated in the court of social media", and added: "This was a very unpleasant and serious offense on the public Underground system."The way it took place back in July, the seriousness of the offense is exacerbated by the fact that it went on social media."Fining Mason for his "more serious" role, she told him: "The uploading, the tagline and so on are very much part of your offense specifically."He was also handed an 18-month community order and told to pay £170 in costs. Mullan, who is on benefits, was not fined but told to pay £170 costs and carry out a 12-month community order.Ms. Lubbock added: "We feel that this is a lesson to both of you. As your defense lawyer said, you have been humiliated in the court of social media."
