This is not the first time that this 42-year-old Vannes resident has been accused of sexual exhibition. This time, he is accused of having masturbated, while he was installed behind the wheel, in the Kerlann parking lot, in Vannes (Morbihan), on March 29, 2024. Facts denounced by two women, whose vehicle was parked next to his. “We can see things wrong and assume things. I was urinating in a bottle when these people walked by,”
explains the defendant, at the bar of the Vannes criminal court, Wednesday December 18, 2024.
Registration in the file of perpetrators of sexual offenses
Initially, the repeat offender, already convicted in 2020, denied any presence in this parking lot that day. The hearing of the victims, and the geolocation of his phone, indicated the opposite. This evidence and the fact “to urinate in a bottle in a place accessible to view, result, for prosecutor Francis Bihin, to acts of sexual exhibition”. The prosecutor thus requested six months in prison, associated with the revocation of a subsequent sentence of four months and his registration in the file of perpetrators of sexual offenses (Fijais).
The defense is surprised and refutes the allegation of sexual exhibition, before attempting to exonerate his client by providing proof of his urinary problems, which forced him to urinate in a bottle that day. The court did not agree, finding the defendant guilty, and sentencing him to an eight-month prison sentence suspended for thirty months, associated with an obligation of care, and his registration in Fijais.
