HAWICK MAN SENTENCED FOR PUBLIC SEX ACT FILMED ON DOORBELL CAMERA
A 37-YEAR-OLD Hawick man who carried out a sex act on himself in a couple's garden has been ordered to carry out 120 hours of unpaid work at Jedburgh Sheriff Court.
John Torrie, of Hillend Drive, pleaded guilty to the offence which was captured on their doorbell camera footage.
Prosecutor India MacLean said a woman was inside her Hawick home on the night of May 4 around 11pm with her husband when their dog started barking due to banging outside.
When they opened the front door, there was no one there.
However, the woman noticed the next morning that the garden gate was open.
Checking the doorbell camera footage, she saw Torrie exposing his genitals and performing a sex act on himself.
The act lasted about a minute before he left.
He pleaded guilty to a charge of intentionally exposing his genitals in a sexual manner for another to see without their consent.Defense lawyer Mat Patrick said his client was appalled with himself, adding that the offence happened after a night of heavy drinking.
As part of a community payback order, he was ordered to complete 120 hours of unpaid work and placed on supervision for six months.
He was also instructed to pay £200 in compensation to the woman.
