A postman asked a young woman if she would perform a sex act on him while he was at work for £20.
Lea Troth pulled alongside the woman who was walking down a street and wound his window down while he was working.
After she refused, he asked her to perform another sex act instead, reports LincolnshireLive.
Prosecuting Jim Clare said that he was in full Royal Mail uniform at the time.
He said that at 1pm on December 19, the young woman was walking to her friend’s house when she saw Troth, in full postman’s uniform including a peaked cap, in a Royal Mail van, pulling up beside her and getting out.
He added she walked on but Troth appeared to follow her in the van and then pulled up alongside her in Kyme Road, Boston, wound his window down and said ‘will you give me oral sex for £20?’.
Mr Clare said the woman refused and told him she was ‘not a prostitute’ but he kept asking her despite her continuing to refuse, he appeared to be getting money out.
He said that Troth then asked the woman to perform another sex act so she went into a nearby shop and called her mum, who came to get her and he apologised.
The police were then called and he was arrested.
Troth had been on temporary employment with Royal Mail for the Christmas period.
Mr Clare added that Troth did apologise and said that it was a ‘moment of madness’.
Troth, 48, of South Parade, Skegness, pleaded guilty to soliciting another person for the purpose of obtaining their sexual services as a prostitute when he appeared at Boston Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, January 22.
He was unrepresented and told magistrates he did not want to say anything but that it was a ‘load of rubbish’ to say he had followed her.
Magistrates said that it must have been a ‘particularly unpleasant experience for the young lady’ and fined him £80 and ordered him to pay £117 in costs and charges.
