Police hunt for man who pinched presenter

Police are hunting a man seen pinching Channel 4 News presenter Sue Turton's bottom as she was reporting live on television.

Although she does not wish to pursue the matter, police said they intend to issue the man with an £80 fine.

As Ms Turton was speaking to camera last week, a man in Oxford's flood-hit Osney Island walked past and pinched her. She carried on regardless, delivering her two-way report, which has had thousands of viewings on YouTube.

A police source said: "Sue Turton does not want to take this any further but we think it deserves a slap on the wrist.

"We are seeking to impose a fixed penalty notice for disorder. We have a strong idea of who the man is because he was caught on national TV."

A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said: "The victim in this case does not wish to pursue a complaint. However, Thames Valley Police is seeking to identify the individual with a view to dealing with him under the Public Order Act."

A fixed penalty notice does not result in an individual receiving a criminal record but, if contested, the matter could end up in court.
