The court previously heard Stroud sat next to the woman, who was on the phone to her boyfriend at the time, on the train.
He was “constantly leaning” on her and called the woman “magical”.
Stroud then grabbed her hair, which the victim “perceived to be sexual”.
He told the woman: “You’re never going to find someone who loves your hair as much as I do.” She replied: “I already have someone.”
In her statement, the woman – who detailed she was a childhood sexual abuse survivor – said the incident left her “paralysed with fear”.
She had told Stroud to stop, but he continued talking to her before asking: “Can I kiss you?”.
The woman replied “absolutely not”, the court heard.
She said Stroud’s breath smelt of alcohol.
“Imagine as a young woman of small stature when a large, drunk man tries to sit on top of you,” the woman added in her statement.
“I was an unwilling recipient of this kind of contact towards me.”
