Muscles pervert "erratic" in court

May 16 2008 Liverpool Daily Post

A LIVERPOOL man behaved erratically in court as he started his appeal against an order banning him from touching men’s biceps.

Akinwale Arobieke is bidding to get a sexual offences prevention order (SOPO) stopping him feeling young men’s muscles overturned.

But Arobieke, who was released from a 15-month prison stretch in April, seemed volatile as he appeared at Liverpool Crown Court.

Arobieke, who is notorious across Merseyside for asking young men if he can measure their muscles and requesting them to squat, behaved erratically in court yesterday – walking out the dock and questioning the judge.

During the half-hour hearing he later walked out of court clutching a carrier bag, before returning five minutes later and sitting at the back.

Judge David Swift refused to adjourn the case and ordered medical reports on Arobieke be completed.
