A pornography-obsessed pervert left a young woman traumatised by performing a sex act on himself in front of her on a bus. Luke Morrissey, 20, later admitted he was enacting a fantasy when he performed what a judge described as a 'revolting' act on a Megabus between Birmingham and Manchester.
His victim, a student traveling on her own for the first time, told police: "It was horrible - there was nowhere to go." The young woman was travelling one day in May 2022, when Morrissey, a warehouse worker from Oxfordshire who admitted watching pornography up to eight times every day, performed the sex act on himself on a seat diagonally opposite her, prosecutor Rachel White told Manchester Crown Court today (Thursday).
At first he appeared to be asleep but later he began 'glancing' at her and the woman, feeling uncomfortable, looked away and Morrissey pretended he was on his phone, the court heard. The young woman went to the toilet but when she returned to her seat she looked up and saw the defendant performing the sex act, according to Ms White. He appeared to be looking at her while he carried out the act, the court was told.

The shocked woman called her boyfriend. Meanwhile, Morrissey ejaculated and then covered up the stain he had left, said the prosecutor. Another woman on the bus overheard the conversation the woman was having with her boyfriend and called the police.
The bus driver was alerted and police arrested Morrissey when the bus arrived at Shudehill bus station in central Manchester. The arrest took place about 30 minutes after the incident was first reported to
