A man who was seen masturbating in a caravan window wearing nothing but a pair of sunglasses has pleaded guilty to 1 count of exposure.
Andrew Collins, previously of Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park, Bembridge but now of High Street, Sandown pleaded guilty to the charge, as well as to possession of a Class B drug (cannabis), before Magistrates at the Isle of Wight Magistrates Court today (Tuesday).
The court heard that just after 16:30 on the 22nd May, Collins was caught masturbating in the window of a caravan – wearing nothing but a pair of sunglasses – in the view of 2 females, one of whom yelled “he’s f*cking w*nking”.
They had noticed some twitching in the window of the caravan shortly before Collins drew the curtains back and stood there playing with himself in front of them.
Police were called to the scene and when arresting Collins found a quantity of cannabis in his possession.
The 56-year-old, who had been drinking, consumed up to 7 pints of Stella Artois that afternoon, and admitted he didn’t remember much of the incident when questioned about it.
Defending, Michael McGoldrick said his client showed ‘deep remorse’ and that a mixture of the alcohol and prescribed medication he was taking made it hard to remember exactly what had happened. The court heard that Collins had become dependent on the prescribed medication after the recent death of his brother due to COVID-19.
The case has been adjourned for a pre-sentencing report to be compiled. Collins will be back in court on the 1st July.
Another drug crazed dope fiend! What is this island coming to?
Just another Wight Trash Wanker !
The two woman should be prosecuted for being so intrusive.
Poor bloke, just letting off a bit of steam.
Oh shut up it’s not like he’s shooting and selling smack you daft buggar
Poor guy was just having a bit of private time and drowning his sorrows after the loss of his brother when two nosey chavs make a scene so he decides to give them what for and ends up in court. The judge should let him off with a slapped wrist.
At least he was wearing eye protection
Doubt that I could manage that after 7 pints of “wife beater” – Respect!
No excuse Exposing yourself playing with his penis.He needs it chopped off!!!!
Stop looking through his window then
I bet he won’t give a toss what happens to him
Other beers are available lol
These types ALWAYS have an excuse for their unacceptable behaviour.
“his client showed ‘deep remorse’ and that a mixture of the alcohol and prescribed medication he was taking made it hard…”
I’m confused so it’s ok for strangers to be looking in others private windows , looking to break in maybe, and to shout obscene words in a public place yet not ok for the guy to do what he wants in his home ?. Surely a ticking off by Police would if been enough. Other cases of crime never even to Court ! Are people on beach on our South Coast all going to be prosecuted or maybe contestants on TVs Naked Attraction !. There’s sex crimes and Rape that need convictions going up .
Spot on
Try reading the report Freddie. This was a sex crime.
So you going to get every man and teenage boy arrested and labeled, hope you don’t have kid’s. They should not of been looking through someone’s window. Sure if you look through many a caravan window you wil witness all sorts of sex and strange behaviour, these woman seem bent on destroying an already vulnerable guy,they should of looked away.
Now if you turn this round the other way….naked woman in caravan and bloke outside looking in, the bloke STILL gets prosecuted for being a peeping tom! And yet women still keep bleating that they want equality…but only when it suits them! lol
What a ….Plonker…….
