Handcart to Hell: Trans ex-soldier used wheelie bin for public sex act

A transgender ex-soldier was caught using a sex toy attached to a wheelie bin in an alleyway, with a judge describing his behaviour as "repugnant and offensive".

Andrew McNab - now 'known as' Chloe Thompson, 42 - of Middlesbrough, lifted his skirt and exposed himself three times in one day in August last year, a court heard.

Thompson was caught in a back alley, using a sex toy attached to a wheelie bin on August 13 last year, Teesside Crown Court heard.

On the same day, he exposed himself on the street where he lived at the time of the offences, and thrust his hips into a fence.

A woman had been passing with her granddaughters in the car when one shouted, "look at that lady", and she saw Thompson standing in the window exposing her penis and making thrusting movements.

Another witness described seeing "a male on the street", "wearing women's clothing" and seeing that person "lifting and playing with their penis", Teesside Live reported.

McNab/Thompson has 17 convictions for 22 offences, and was still under a suspended sentence order at the time of these latest crimes.

Previously convicted as Andrew McNab, the defendant had been put on the sex offenders' register and made subject to notification requirements in 2011 for sexually assaulting an underage girl.

McNab/Thompson, who used to be a soldier, pleaded guilty to the three most recent crimes on February 15.

He was convicted of committing a public nuisance by indecent exposure, exposing his penis to members of the public while performing a sex act upon himself and outraging public decency.

McNab/Thompson has been granted conditional bail and will be sentenced on April 26.
