A 38-year-old from Ebbw Vale has been placed on the sex offenders register for seven years after admitting to indecent exposure.
The offence
Philip Drake committed the act of exposure in Ebbw Vale on March 14. He also pleaded guilty to a separate charge of breaching a non-molestation order two months prior.
Sentence
Appearing before Newport Magistrates’ Court, Drake, of Darby Crescent, Ebbw Vale, received an 18-week custodial sentence, suspended for 18 months – meaning he will not serve time in prison unless he reoffends.
He was ordered to complete 160 hours of unpaid work and attend 26 sessions of an accredited programme.
Additional requirements
The court also imposed an 18-month drug rehabilitation requirement and a two-year restraining order. Drake was ordered to pay £85 in costs.
