Geoffrey Ball, aged 53, also urinated in an ambulance and a police car, and told a female doctor: “F*** off, you’re black,” in a bizarre episode.

Shrewsbury Crown Court was told how Ball was banned from being in intimate relationships with women by a sexual harm prevention order (SHPO) due to his previous convictions for indecent assault.

However, he got together with a woman in Telford, who later discovered his history as a pervert from newspaper articles.

Ball was arrested by police in Telford on February 2 this year, and was “initially calm” before his odd behaviour started.

He told officers he was the cousin of far-right activist Mr Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.

“There is no known relationship between him and Mr Yaxley-Lennon,” said prosecutor Milly Webb.
