A large western railway train manager was closed for seven years after sexually assaulted an 18-year-old passenger when he asked to check his ticket.

Nicholas McMurray, 38 years old, approached the victim and asked to see his ticket and adjusted the woman’s dress, the British Transport Police said.

The 18-year-old was talking and talking on the phone in the vestibule shortly before reaching Swansea, when McMurray sexually assaulted her on June 22, 2024.

He continued to keep the victim until the train entered the train station and made explicit sexual comments to it before touching it again as he got off the train.

The woman, who cannot be appointed for legal reasons, courageously reported the incident of the officers at the station.

The police found the 38 -year -old man standing next to the stationary train when he was arrested.

Predator McMurray was “immediately removed from work as a train manager for GWR” and no longer works there.

Since then he was found guilty of sexual assault, aggression by penetration as the Swansea Crown Court on February 5th.

Last year he was sentenced to seven years in prison and put sex criminals to life.

The investigation officer, the detective of Constanta Farrell, said: “When he was arrested, McMurray lied to the officers who claim that the victim had tried to kiss him and he pushed her.

“His lies continued in the interview, because he claimed that the victim has consented to his actions.”

He added: “McMurray completely abused his position and took advantage of this young woman.

I would like to take advantage of this opportunity to thank the victim for her courage and courage throughout the police investigation.

“McMurray will have to spend a period of time to reflect on the actions he has taken on that day.”
