Man admits sex act while watching yoga class in park

A MAN who indecently exposed himself in a public park while watching a yoga class was told to carry out a rehabilitation activity when he appeared before magistrates.

Howard Beck (55), of Rushington Avenue, Totton, pleaded guilty to committing a sexual act in a public place on 13th July.

The Southampton court heard Beck was sitting on a bench at a local park at 6pm, watching the yoga class taking place in a gym when he exposed himself and began masturbating.

A six-month alcohol treatment order was included in a 12-month community order the Southampton Bench handed to the defendant last Thursday. It also required him to serve 20 “reasoning and rehabilitation” days.

In addition to the order, Beck was fined £50 and told to pay £85 in court costs along with a £95 surcharge to fund victim support services.
