John Jeffs was caught in the act by a churchgoer who was attending a talk about Asperger’s syndrome
A retired vicar who was caught thrusting himself into the nozzle of a Henry Hoover while wearing just a pair of stockings has been put on the sex offenders' register.
John Jeffs, 74, was caught in the act at the Baptist Centre in Middleton Cheney, Northamptonshire, by a churchgoer who was attending a talk about Asperger’s syndrome,
Metro reported.
The churchgoer later described how Jeffs was "standing between two dark chairs, thrusting into a Henry Hoover" and continued to push his groin into the cleaning device - famous for its relentless and powerful suction - even after being disturbed.
Jeffs appeared at Northampton Magistrates’ Court Thursday where he tried to deny what he had done in September 2020.
Finding him guilty, a magistrate said: "Why you thought it best to bring this matter to trial, I have no idea."
Jeffs told police that he had committed the act because he felt "naughty".
His defence lawyer told the court that his client was still coming to terms with the loss of his wife at a young age and was in a lot of pain because he was ignoring his health and his diabetes was not medicated.
Jeffs was made to sign the sex offenders’ register, given an 18-month community order and ordered to pay £845 in costs.
He was also ordered to pay £200 compensation to the victim who witnessed the sex act.
