An Isle of Wight man who was seen masturbating in a caravan window wearing nothing but a pair of sunglasses has been handed a 2-year community order and must complete 100 hours of unpaid work.
As previously reported by Island Echo, 56-year-old Andrew Collins, previously of Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park in Bembridge, but now of High Street in Sandown, pleaded guilty to a charge of exposure. Collins also pleaded guilty to possession of a Class B drug (cannabis) when he appeared before the Isle of Wight Magistrates Court on Tuesday 7th June.
The court heard that just after 16:30 on 22nd May, Collins was caught masturbating in the window of a caravan in 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.
Reappearing at the same court for sentencing on Friday, Collins was handed a 24-month community order with 100 hours of unpaid work attached. He was also ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register for a period of 5 years and pay costs of £85 with a £95 surcharge.
Since moved from Whitecliff Bay to Sandown High street? The man is clearly moving up in the world. Interesting that he was at a site that does not have a permit for residential though…… I’d say that could be a story in itself if there was anyone investigative to pick up on it.
WTF is the mental minds of these so called people
I blame the wheather,
What were the two mouthy women doing looking in his window anyway ?
The women must of been at hes window think they are just milking it for what they can get they need to be nvestigated for perverting the law making it up .she said when she was 13 years old she saw a man playing with himself and she was scared
after that what a load rubbish that she said to this news paper is like the mirror they got sued for turning people’s lives paper shouldn’t have published it till the court case was over in the Well read between the lines .why did she get someone else involved to back her story up and confront him at hes window .the court should have seeing some kind of sinister behaviour that resulted in this man getting shamed and a criminal record.
The Guy isn’t normal. All I am interested in after 7 pints of Stella is a bit of a kip.
Lots of wankers in the news recently.
Yeah. One just got the boot from 10 Downing Street.
Does he drive a white van by any chance?
When I joined the RAF the drill instructor informed us that there were only two types of people in this world…wa***rs and liars.
dunno, i’ve come across a lot of lying wankers in my time
Thought his punishment was a bit”stiff”
It’s The women with vibrators that made us Men Redundant.
Obviously the man’s a pervert,but what charming language from the mouths of the two women.
Drinking is no excuse. At least he appears apologetic and has to do community service and has been charged costs. So perhaps we can end the matter.
Gobby attention seeking women, if a bloke looked into a caravan window at a naked woman he would be arrested for being peeping Tom. Lol
