Wait 5 sec.

Another woman has come forward with allegations of sexual harassment on a bus involving the same man who was filmed touching himself near a 19-year-old woman last weekend.The 41-year-old reached out to Lovin Malta after seeing today’s report – she recognised his jacket and bag. Sophie* remains in shock after the same man allegedly touched himself while sitting opposite her during a bus journey on 8th June.Footage sent to Lovin Malta shows the man sitting across from Sophie. He can initially be seen holding a jacket over his groin – the same jacket he was carrying during the 9th August incident – as Sophie noticed him touching his penis.He then moved the jacket, exposing his erect penis under his trousers. The footage also shows a wet mark on his trousers, which Sophie suspects was ejaculate.“I cried a lot when I got off the bus. I’m still in shock over a month later. This man needs to be found,” Sophie told Lovin Malta.She also pointed out that the man was carrying a puffer jacket in the middle of summer, which she believes he was using to conceal what he was doing.Sophie is now the third woman to come forward with allegations of sexual harassment on public transport involving the man, whose identity remains unknown to the newsroom.Lovin Malta has viewed unblurred footage from both the 8th June and 9th August incidents and confirmed that the same man appears in both videos.Sophie said she filed a police report on 9th June but has not received any updates since. She said officers at the station told her she had done the right thing by not confronting the man and instead capturing clear images of him.According to Sophie, officers also told her they would attempt to obtain footage from the bus, although they could not guarantee that the man would be identified.Footage published by Lovin Malta earlier today shows the same man thrusting and touching his erect penis in the direction of a 19-year-old woman sitting near him.After the young woman shared the footage within her community to raise awareness, another woman came forward with a separate account, alleging that the same man repeatedly pressed his groin against her knee while on public transport.Lovin Malta has contacted the police to establish whether investigations are underway into the three incidents and whether the man has been identified.*Name changed to protect her identity.•
