A man who desecrated a cenotaph in Blackpool on the day marking the 90th anniversary of the start of World War I, has escaped a jail sentence.
Iraqi Harkan Amin, 32, a failed asylum seeker from Oldham, Greater Manchester, admitted outraging public decency by behaving in an indecent manner.
The Royal British Legion and Russian Convoy Association had laid wreaths which were ruined after the sex act.
Amin was unable to pay the £2,000 fine imposed at Blackpool Magistrates Court.
He was ordered to spend one day in prison in lieu of payment, but as he had already been in custody for two weeks he was released immediately on Thursday.
