A man in Somerset, UK, has been found guilty of causing intentional harassment, alarm, or distress to female motorists while dressed in a gimp suit. Joshua Hunt, 32, was seen by one woman writhing around on the ground while wearing the suit.
Another woman reported being left shaken and crying after encountering him. Hunt, a self-employed gardener, had denied the allegations but was fined £100 and ordered to pay £200 compensation to each victim along with £620 in prosecution costs.
Hunt had told police, "I am not a gimp - I do not own a gimp suit. I am not in a gimp suit." He claimed that his mental health was in crisis at the time of the incidents and that he never intended to cause distress to anyone.
