MAN’S SEX ACT IN TESCO CAR PARK
SHOPPED: Davies was spotted pulling pud in car park A TEENAGER caught performing a sex act in a supermarket car park has been given a ticking off by a judge.
He told Ryan Davies: “There is a time and place for everything...but there is little doubt that the middle of the day in a Tesco car park was entirely unsuitable for what a jury decided you were doing!”
Davies, 19, had denied the offence, which took place in October last year.
He had told a jury that he had become bored with shopping at the Tesco supermarket in Margate, Kent, and had decided to scratch himself as he sat in his car. admission and an apology, you sought to try and justify your conduct.
“That resulted in your victim having to re-live the experience by giving evidence. In my opinion you were clearly masturbating in public.”
The judge said that sentencing guidelines recommended jail but told Davies – whose parents were in court – that because of his age and lack of maturity he wouldn’t send him to prison.
He added: “It seems to me the stigma of your conviction and the ordeal of these proceedings will have a significant and marked deterrent effect on you.”
Davies was handed a 12-month community order and ordered to do 100 hours of unpaid work for the community but will not have to sign the sex offenders’ register.
