Flasher’s hot dog excuse is rejected

 

A MAN found guilty of exposing himself in front of two teenage girls tried to convince the Magistrate’s Court that he was holding a jumbo hot dog.

Eric De Jersey, 61, denied the offence and even produced a replica of the hot dog he claimed had been given to him by a member of staff at the fish and chip shop next door to his home.

But Assistant-Magistrate Cherry McMillen found him ‘evasive and ambiguous’ in court.

She believed the evidence of two schoolgirls aged 13 and 15, who said they saw De Jersey masturbating outside his Trinity Square flat at about 9pm on 21 August.

Miss McMillen said that she did not believe De Jersey, of Flat 4, Trinity Square, and found him guilty.

The 15-year-old girl, who gave evidence from behind a screen, told the court that she was sitting with friends on a bench in the triangle at the square when the defendant beckoned her and another girl over.

She said that they thought something was wrong and that she and the 13-year-old went across to see what he wanted.

The girl was ‘disgusted’ to find he ‘was stood there masturbating’.

‘He kept on looking at us but he never said anything.

‘I just thought it wasn’t right to do that in the open air or to people of a young age.’

She said that she witnessed the act for about 10 to 15 seconds from about a metre away.

In cross-examination, Advocate David Domaille said: ‘Mr De Jersey is saying he had a number of newspapers and, in his right hand, a jumbo sausage in a roll.’

The 13-year-old girl told the court that she could see what De Jersey was doing from across the road. She did not go over but called police.

Advocate Domaille put it to the young girl that she could not possibly have seen anything from where she was sitting, which she denied.

PC Greg Stuart told the court that when he arrived outside the Trinity Square flat, he saw De Jersey pulling up his flies.

He confirmed that the man had no newspapers or hot dog in his hand.

De Jersey said that was because he had already been into his flat and put them down inside.

He said the girls’ allegations were ‘honestly and totally untrue’.

Explaining what the policeman said he had seen, De Jersey said he could have ‘just been adjusting’ his trousers.

Advocate Domaille said the girls’ evidence was ‘totally inconsistent’.

But Miss McMillen described the 15-year-old as a ‘truthful witness’.

She noted that the 13-year-old was some distance away and was watching through the window of a parked car. Miss McMillen said that she would not have been satisfied to the required standard on her evidence alone. She described PC Stuart’s evidence as ‘clear and unequivocal’.

De Jersey, who has a number of previous convictions including a similar one from 1995, will be sentenced on 26 October once a probation report has been prepared.
