A 47-year-old man from Whitechapel in East London has told a local newspaper that he made lewd remarks and carried out a number of unwanted sexual advances towards himself while working from home under lockdown
Toby Dell, a graphics designer from Leman Street told The East London Gazette: “The first time it happened was when I tried to commit an inappropriate act with myself just two days after I’d started working from home
“I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the screen of my PC and realised for the first time just how attractive I was.
“The next thing I knew, I felt my own hand on my knee. I tried slapping it away but I was very persistent and it began moving higher.
“I told myself to stop and that I wasn’t interested, but I refused to listen and began rubbing my private parts over my clothes.
“Before I could call out for help, I had tugged my penis from my trousers and had pleasured myself to a shattering climax.
“I then just cleaned up and carried on as if nothing untoward had happened
“I felt so used and dirty and I just know that this sordid episode will haunt me for the rest of my life.
“I now avoid being alone with myself whenever possible, although it’s difficult when I visit the toilet or when I’m in bed at night.
“I just lie there in the darkness, praying that I won’t feel my own hands wandering over my body as I lie there, helpless and terrified of what I’m going to do to myself”
