Jason Martin Jones sentenced to a year in prison for shocking acts of indecency
A flasher who exposed himself to a baby and her mum at a charity colour run in Llandudno has been handed a 12 month jail term.
Jason Martin Jones carried out the indecent act on June 12 at West Shore where parents and their children had gathered to watch the fundraising race for St David’s Hospice.
Jones. 41, first exposed himself to a horrified woman and her nine-month old daughter and then to a man and his child, prosecutor Simon Mintz told Caernarfon crown court.
Jones, originally from Rhyl, but now of no fixed address did it again on June 20, when he was spotted on CCTV cameras in Conwy drunk and again exposing himself, Mr Mintz added.
Sentencing Jones, who had three previous convictions for outraging public decency, to 12 months jail, Judge Huw Rees said: “For some time you have lived a transient life with social links to London and North Wales. You must understand that the effect of your behaviour on others would have caused upset and real concern which is totally unacceptable.”
The judge said his sentencing was mitigated by the fact that Jones had pleaded guilty on the day of his trial and had been in custody since June 22 last year.
“My intention here was to pass sentence to reflect the abhorrence and concern. I want to encourage you to lead a more structured lifestyle. I am told that you have an insight into your problems,” he added.
The judge said a psychiatric report recommended that a hospital order was not appropriate.
Owen Edwards, defending, said Jones "understated his difficulties".
Jones was released at the end of the hearing as he had already served his sentence while on remand.
He was also given a five-year criminal behaviour order not to urinate or defecate in public and handed a 10-year notification order to register as a sex offender.
