Sex Offender Jailed for Attacking Teen at Train Station

Barnaby Money, a convicted sex offender, has been sentenced to one year in prison for a sexual assault committed at Cosham railway station. The 46-year-old pleaded guilty to the charge at a previous hearing and received his sentence on January 15, 2026, at Portsmouth Crown Court. He must also sign the sex offenders register for a decade and is prohibited from working with children. The assault occurred on February 20, 2025, when Money approached a 17-year-old girl waiting for a train. He initiated conversation, made explicit advances, and then sexually assaulted her. Fortunately, a bystander at the station witnessed the event and immediately contacted the authorities. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary officers arrested Money at the scene, as captured on body camera footage.
