'HYPOCRITE' CORNWALL FLASHER WAVED PENIS AT CARS WHILE SHOUTING 'NONCE AND RAPIST'
A flasher has been branded "hypocritical" for waving his penis at passing cars while also hurling paedophile insults at strangers.Leon Paull outraged public decency when he stood in the middle of Camborne at about 12.30pm on October 2 with his penis in his hand waving it at the traffic while shouting lude obscenities like "nonce" and "rapist" at cars and passers-by.
His behaviour raised alarm and concerns with members of the public who called Devon and Cornwall Police, as a result of which Paull, 55, from Dudnance Lane in Pool, was arrested.
A sentencing hearing at Truro Crown Court today (Friday December 5) heard how Paull, who had been with two other equally intoxicated men at the time, was charged with one count of exposure under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 which he eventually pleaded guilty to.
His barrister said Paull was very intoxicated at the time and was sorry for his actions and was trying to get his life back in order after weening himself off heroin and trying to do the same for alcohol.
He told Paull: "You made a nuisance of yourself.
Why you were doing that is unclear but you thought it was a good idea to expose your penis in the street.
If you do that again, we will meet again and I will send you to prison." He fined Paull £250 and ordered him to pay £80 in court costs.
