A SYDNEY chiropractor has been told he must be chaperoned when treating women aged under 45 for the next two years after being convicted of exposing his penis in a shop.

Kristin Scott Stoker, 34, who practises in Wahroonga, was sentenced to 50 hours' community service after the District Court upheld his 2007 conviction for indecent exposure.

The Chiropractors Tribunal of NSW was told he had gone to the jewellery shop to buy a gift. A woman working in it said she had noticed Stoker outside staring at her. She picked up a piece of jewellery from the floor, and when she stood up was faced with his exposed penis. Stoker told the court he had noticed her looking at his groin. Aware that his zip was broken he realised ''a small part of his penis was exposed'' and went in to fix the problem.

Psychological testing showed Stoker had no history of sexually deviant behaviour and was not mentally ill. The tribunal ruled it was unlikely he would reoffend.
