You can't refer to this gent as 'Purple Aki' in mainstream print anymore due to race/legal issues - but this is the guy...the childhood bogeyman himself. Been back in court.
"A PRISONER is appealing against an order banning him from touching men’s biceps.
Akinwale Arobieke is currently serving a 15-month jail sentence for breaching an interim sexual offences prevention order (SOPO) by feeling a young man’s biceps in a shopping centre in Preston.
The order banned Arobieke from asking young men if he could measure their muscles and requesting them to squat.
He was jailed in November, 2007, for the breach, but is due to be released on April 24. During his jail stretch, a five-day trial was held at Liverpool magistrates court where the SOPO order was made indef- inite. Akinwale, formerly of Cavendish Gardens, in Toxteth, did not attend the court hearing on February 14, but he has now decided to appeal the decision.
At a hearing at Liverpool Crown Court yesterday, it was revealed Arobieke is bidding to get the order overturned on the grounds some of the evid- ence against him was inadmissible.
A hearing is now expected to be held on June 9.
Arobieke was given the interim SOPO order weeks after being released from a six-year prison sentence imp- osed in 2003 for 15 counts of harassment and one of intimidating a witness."

There is reference to him on the Urban Legends Website, which I posted in reference to Plank. This is the first time I could ever recall hearing of him; since then Jonno has told me a fair bit of info on the local fear and stories of him years ago when he was growing up.

lol, the government would much rather look after and reward criminals than punish them; these types of guys are the ones who are sent to "open" prisons ffs!!

Purple Aki was well known to young people around the Birkenhead North area when I was a teenager during the 80's. Local teenagers were terrified of him... It was rumoured that for a time he was sleeping rough in the old Church Building in Flaybrick Cemetary. He had a really bad reputation and if even half of what I heard is true he did a damn site worse then 'feel muscles', he was and still is a very dangerous nutjob.
