‘Mann’ who loves to touch himself caught masturbating whilst driving
A ST CLEARS man was caught pleasuring himself at 60mph, a judge heard on Monday (Nov 26).
Liam Mann, 29, was driving no-handed west of Carmarthen when he overtook a woman motorist and signalled with his left hand for her to look at what he was doing.
Mann had pulled up behind the woman on the A40 dual carriageway.
He alerted her by blaring his horn and then pulled alongside when she slowed to work out what was wrong.
Ian Wright, prosecuting, told Swansea Crown Court it was clear what he was doing with his right hand.
Mann sped off but the woman noted enough of his registration number for police to arrest him.
Mr Wright said the victim was so worried she still found herself constantly looking around for Mann’s car.
Mann, of Green Park Terrace, Ash Grove, was before the court for three offences of exposure and one of breaching a sexual harm prevention order.
Mr Wright said on September 5 he pulled up alongside a 13-year-old girl in Llandeilo and asked her for directions.
She could see immediately that he was touching himself and ran to the home of a teacher.
On October 8 he drove passed a female pedestrian in the centre of Carmarthen and pulled in to park. As she walked passed she could see him sitting in the driver’s seat with his trousers and underpants around his thighs.
Mr Wright said the woman tried to take a photograph on her mobile telephone but was in such a panic she could not enter the passcode.
The A40 incident happened just 10 days later.
Mann admitted exposure and the breach and was jailed for two years and four months.
Judge Geraint Walters said it was a troubling case.
Mann had been jailed in 2014 for sexually assaulting a female child and had taken part in a rehabilitation course. The sentencing judge had made Mann the subject of SHPO.
Sadly, said Judge Walters, Mann still had ‘many unresolved issues’.
Mann was warned he would be on licence from prison until November 2023 irrespective of when he was released.
