A PENSIONER has been jailed after repeatedly exposing himself despite a court order to prevent his behaviour.
David Georges Moses, 63, who uses a wheelchair following a stroke, was convicted at Truro Magistrates' Court, on January 5, after exposing himself in front of children in St Agnes.
The offences occurred in June 30 and July 2 of last year.
Magistrates made the pensioner of Whites Close, St Agnes, subject of a criminal behaviour order, which has replaced the antisocial behaviour order (Asbo).
The order stated the Moses must not expose his genitals or buttocks in public anywhere in Cornwall or use insulting or intimidating words or behaviour that causes annoyance or nuisance.
However, the order did not prevent the pensioner's behaviour.
And on April 13 Moses was brought before Truro magistrates after breaching his order for a third time.
He admitted the offence of exposing his buttocks on April 11.
Three days earlier he had appeared before magistrates for doing the same thing and was given a 38-day prison sentence suspended for six months and told to pay £80 victim surcharge.
Moses had also performed similar behaviour at a nursing home in St Austell last month, where he was living at the time but been told to leave, magistrates heard.
He failed to appear at Bodmin Magistrates' Court on March 26 and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Moses, who had been remanded in custody at the previous hearing, was sentenced on May 26 to 62 days in prison
After the sentencing Inspector Mark Richards, for Truro police, said: "Everybody has attempted to help him. There is an element of regret that it has come to this for such a pathetic course of behaviour."

If this guy has no previous history of this sort of thing, I wonder if the stroke could have had something to do with it...

I think the stroke is rather the point, isn't it?
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
