PERTH PENSIONER AVOIDS SEX-OFFENDER REGISTER AFTER EXPOSING HIMSELF IN BUS SHELTER
A 74-year-old man named Allan Laing who was heavily intoxicated caused a disturbance in a bus shelter by staggering inside, shouting incoherently, and then undressing to expose his genitals, causing fear and alarm to a young family waiting for a bus.
All details of his behavior were reported, including him approaching the public and tapping them on the shoulder while talking incoherently, and the family moving their daughter away upon seeing his behavior.
Sheriff Fiona Tait stated that the incident was unlikely to have a significant sexual element and ruled that Laing would not be placed on the sex offenders register.
Laing admitted breaching the peace through shouting, swearing, and exposing himself, leading to the imposition of a community payback order with supervision for nine months.
Laing has an alcohol problem and was receiving treatment for it at the time.
