A man has been banned from using public transport after sexually assaulting two men in separate abhorrent and disgraceful attacks.
Fernando Encladas first victim was attacked in the early hours of February 4 last year, after boarding an eastbound Central Line train from Tottenham Court Road.
The victim fell asleep and at some point during that journey, Enclada came and sat next to him.
When the victim awoke, he found the 37-year-old touching him inappropriately, whilst making sexual comments.
When he realised what was being done to him, the victim chased Enclada off the train at Woodford Station in east London, disgusted by his behaviour.

Five months later, on July 1, a second man was travelling alone on the Central line Night Tube, at around 3.30am and had fallen asleep.

The man woke at Hainault to discover that Enclada had been performing a sex act on him.
The victim challenged Enclada, who managed to flee from the train.
The crimes were reported to British Transport Police , who were eventually able to catch Enclada while dressed in plain clothes on July 14, 13 days after his last attack.
Enclada from Camberwell, admitted both offences and appeared at Blackfriars Crown Court yesterday to be sentenced.
The judge ordered a nine-month prison sentence, suspended for two years and a £900 fine.
He has also been banned from using the London Underground, Overground, National Rail and DLR services between 1am and 7am or travelling within the TFL zone without using a registered Oystercard, Freedom Pass or Contactless Card, with a five-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

He has also had his name added to the sex offenders register for 10 years.
Investigating this case, DC Andy Parkinson from BTP, said: Encladas sexually inappropriate and invasive behaviour was both unsolicited and perverse.
He exploited the vulnerabilities of two sleeping men and sexually assaulted them. His actions were abhorrent and disgraceful.
Both victims in this case demonstrated great strength in reporting Encladas behaviour.

Id personally like to thank them for their support, thanks to the overwhelming evidence against him, Enclada was forced to plead guilty.
We will never tolerate unwanted sexual behaviour and work hard with TfL to send a clear message that these offences will be robustly investigated.
