In the 1980s rumours swirled around Merseyside and the northwest about 'Purple Aki' - a bodybuilder with an affinity for young men's muscles.
Many assumed he was an urban legend but when the age of the internet dawned it was revealed Purple Aki was real, and he had a trail of terror and even death in his wake.
Akinwale Arobieke was jailed in 2003 for six years after being convicted of harassing 15 men - he had approached young men and measured their muscles, asking them to squat his body weight in what had claimed were sexually motivated actions.
Three years later, while still behind bars, police issued him with a Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO) that banned him from touching men's muscles and going to gyms.
And in 2015 he was also found to have touched a young man's muscles while travelling on a train from Manchester to Wales. He was convicted of breaching the SOPO.
