Nicholas Read is a dwarf actor, so his resume is filled with what you'd expect from a person of his size. But his rap sheet could rival his IMDB page.
Read played an ewok in Return of the Jedi and a goblin in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, but his latest role was as an anonymous pervert on a train - and it was a repeat performance. Back in 2010, he received a 20-week suspended sentence for fondling himself underneath a juggler’s hat while sitting next to a 17-year-old girl in route to Manchester.
To commemorate the occasion, he took a picture of the horrified reaction of the victim's friend.
In October 2011, Read "trapped" his victim in a window seat on a train travelling to Leicester, and proceeded to reprise his role. Having drunk half a bottle of gin (a regular sized one, or those small airplane sized bottles?), according to the girl, he "placed his hat on his crotch. I saw a movement and I didn’t know whether to believe it. I looked in the reflection of the window and saw his hand moving under the hat. He tried to catch my attention, tilting his hat up, looking at his crotch area and then looking at me a few times." This went on for between 30 and 40 minutes of the 55 minute trip. Now, I understand being freaked out by a weird looking dwarf slapping it in front of you, but would you sit there passively? Maybe all 4' 5" of him was just too intimidating, but why not call for help (or get an autograph)?
Since he was on parole for his previous rail-wank, Read may get additional time tacked onto the potential 20 weeks in jail. In cause you were wondering, he has a number of sex offenses going back to 1995, when he was convicted of lewd phone calls.
