51-year-old Lee Insley, who was caught masturbating whilst sitting in his van on a busy road in Sandown during the Summer, has been fined £166.
As first reported by Island Echo, a video circulated on social media showed a male with a flaccid penis in his hand masturbating whilst sitting in the driver’s seat of a silver VW Transporter.
The van was parked directly outside residential properties on Avenue Road at a time when children are said to have been around. In the video, a young woman walked directly past the vehicle.
An investigation was launched by Hampshire Constabulary, with a 51-year-old from Cowes arrested on suspicion of outraging public decency. The man – now known to be Insley – was bailed as investigations continued.
Insley, of Newport Road in Cowes, was later charged with using threatening, abusive words and behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress – a public order offence contrary to Section 5 (1) and (6) of the Public Order Act 1986.
The 51-year-old carpenter – who was obviously eager to get started on his next woodworking project – pleaded guilty to the charge at the Isle of Wight Magistrates Court on Friday.
Magistrates fined him £166 and ordered him to pay £85 costs with a £66 surcharge.
I think it is terrible.
So do I! It’s awful.
Well thank you for stating the bleeding obvious.
What is the big deal, everybody does it.
Especially on the IW.
The island roads are full of them !
Despicable, absolutely outrageous behaviour.
He should be shot!
Not if it’s flaccid.
You’ve not shot before then.
He’d obviously started a new job and was doing a week in hand.
Flaccid is another way of stating that its weak..
The 51-year-old carpenter – who was obviously eager to get started on his next woodworking project
getting his wood ready – ha ha ha
He’s Pledged not to do it again…
Should have wanked in the back of the van, amateur mistake
I don’t know what came over him !
I thought the courts might have ejaculated the case, I mean acquitted
I wonder what the wife thinks
That its one less job for her to do!
The wife has it off with the neighbour
Hahaha a flaccid penis bloody carpenter that can’t get wood hahaha oh the irony
VW van wanker. See them around every day.
Do you think at his funeral he will be remembered for other things ?
Our island is full of people like this disgusting being
If you don’t like what you see, DON’T LOOK!
So he was not only masturbating but also managed to do a lewd act at the same time? That’s some solid multitasking 😉
Word has it that if it wasn’t for Mrs Palmer , and her 5 lovely daughters, coming to support him he would be looking at a long stretch and possibly doing hard time. They said he was an upstanding pillar of the community!
Fancy meating you here
So He got One off the wrist and a fine.
Shed load cheaper than a wife
And plenty in the tank sir
More filth, needs to be removed from society, straight away.
Needs to removed from society straight away, filth.
And they wonder why our Island has become a joke. These comments say it all. Meanwhile in the real World…
He was in his own van, they should have tossed the case out.
£166 fine someone must have seen him coming !!!
Love how rapidly the comedy comments start to flow
He was on job and knock apparently .
