Jeremy Mark Randon, 40, drove drunk to the skate park and asked girls for directions while partially naked and pleasuring himself
Randon, 40, pulled up at the skatepark in Tywyn, on the town’s High Street and also on the Tywyn to Bryncrug road.
Prosecuting barrister Jonathan Austin told Mold Crown Court how the incidents happened close to the Skateboard Park in Tywyn, in the High Street and on the Tywyn to Bryncrug Road, on October 3.
At the skate park a girl aged 16 saw a stranger get out of his car.
He asked for directions and she quickly realised that he was naked from the waist down and was engaging in an indecent act upon himself.
She was shocked and disgusted, moved away as quickly as she could and the police were informed.
A few minutes later a woman aged 24, who was with a 20-year-old female friend, rang the police and said that she was in the High Street when the same thing happened to them.
A girl aged 16 rang the police to report a similar incident when he got out of the car asking for directions, again naked from the waist down.
The final victim was a girl aged 14 who had been very frightened and just started running when the same thing happened to her.
At 10.30pm police on the look-out for the defendant saw a Ford Focus badly parked in Brook Street and when approached ,the defendant was said to be fiddling with his trousers and his zip was open.
He provided a positive breath test and later provided an alcohol reading of 44 microgrammes compared to the legal limit of 35.
Interviewed, Randon, of Heather Drive in Stourbridge, said he was depressed after losing his job and was “not thinking straight”.
Ffion Tomos, defending, said that her client wished to apologise to the court and to the victims for his “appalling behaviour”.
He was extremely embarrassed and remorseful and had made full admissions from the outset.
It was completely out of character, he had never been in trouble with the police before, but at the time had “hit rock bottom.”
Miss Tomos said he had lost his job and accommodation, his relationship was up in the air, and he had debts of about £3,000. He went out, drank to excess and ended up committing the offences.
But since then he had turned his life around, had new employment as a chef in the Birmingham area, had secure accommodation and his relationship issues had been resolved.
He was now in good health and was making progress – and welcomed the assistance of the probation service so that he could put the matters behind him and hopefully never come before a court again, Miss Tomos explained.
Randon admitted engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child and three charges of outraging public decency, as well as drink driving.
He was placed on a three year community order with 50 days rehabilitation and he was sent on a community sex offender group work programme.
He was also fined £250 and banned from driving for a year – and ordered to pay £250 costs.
Judge Niclas Parry told Randon: “It is difficult to imagine what on earth came over you.”
He said that the aggravating features were obvious – it was repeat offending and it involved five victims, three of them 16 or under.
The offences were committed when it was dark, and the victims had been left shocked, fearful and feeling vulnerable.
“Your behaviour displayed an utter lack of respect or concern for the welfare of the females involved, purely for your own sexual gratification,” Judge Parry told him.
But there was considerable mitigation, he had pleaded guilty at an early opportunity, he had fully co-operated with the police from the outset, and the pre-sentence report made his remorse quite clear.
He had also considered an extremely measured letter written on behalf of his father.
That confirmed that since the offences he had found a new job and new accommodation.
Randon, said the judge, was someone who accepted blame and would also accept assistance.
