An investment banker allegedly “stuck” his genitals into a tree in the shadow of London’s famous Albert Memorial.
Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard that 30-year-old Paolo Bollag’s usual stroll in the park last April was replaced by a bout of floral fornication, to the horror of the innocent trees in Kensington Gardens and shocked wildlife.
After denying a charge of inflicting public indecency, he was released on bail on condition he does not re-enter the park before his trial.
Bollag had apparently been pleasuring himself before being overpowered and “pushed” into an unspecified tree.
The court also heard that the Oakley Capital investment manager put dirt in his underwear and rubbed it on his crotch.

In the shadow of the Albert Memorial, the park is home to more than 3,000 trees across 242 acres.
Bollag appeared in court only to confirm his name and age, but denied the charge of inflicting public indecency.
The investment manager was arrested after the incident which occurred just a stone’s throw from his flat in Queen’s Gate Place.
Flats in this area of South Kensington can fetch prices of more than £5m.
According to Bollag’s LinkedIn profile, his role as an investment manager involves “supporting entrepreneurs and management teams with a core focus on software, technology services and consumer internet.”
He also says he is one of four co-founders of an angel investor network called ‘6NINE26’.
The business graduate is due to appear at Southwark Crown Court next month after being released on bail on the condition that he does not return to the west London park, which is home to more than 3,000 trees across 242 acres.
