Sentence: 12-month community order and 180 hours of unpaid work
In spring 2023, Xin Zhang, a long-time member of the Tom Husband Leisure Centre at the University of Salford, entered the sauna after swimming. He pulled his shorts down and touched himself while staring at a woman through the sauna window, causing her distress. The woman reported that he grabbed his penis and moved his hands up and down for three to four minutes. Zhang provided inconsistent accounts, claiming he was warming his genitals due to being cold or adjusting his shorts for eczema, but magistrates found his actions were for sexual gratification.
