An exhibitionist who stuck pool balls up his bum as a pub prank has avoided prison for his latest crimes.

Drunken Simon Coleman, 32, took out his penis in a pub and "waved it" close to the pub worker who told him to put it away.

He then dropped his trousers and tried to insert pool balls in his bottom as he perched on the side of a table.

Coleman told police the incidents in Bristol were just 'boys' banter' but he was charged and admitted exposure and sexual assault.

He also pleaded guilty to stealing a bottle of whisky and running into a local amateur football club with his trousers down and penis exposed.

Coleman, of Bristol, was given a suspended sentence and the chance to stay out of trouble.

But Bristol Crown Court heard that just a couple of months later he assaulted his girlfriend who he met in rehab.

Despite the re-offending Coleman was given a further chance with a two-year suspended jail sentence.

He was also told to undergo 18 months supervision and carry out 100 hours unpaid work.

But Judge Martin Picton told him: "Do not come back in front of me because if you do you will not be going back through that door - you will be going downstairs."

Addiction recovery specialist Mark Styles said Coleman's drug problems started when he was 12-years-old.

He told the court: "He's been living this lifestyle for 20 odd years, he felt ashamed of it and wanted to stop, but acknowledged he could not by himself.

"I knew from the outset that this is a man who is utterly fed up with his despicable behaviour.

"He has a great deal of remorse for the anguish he out his victims through, but I believe there is a genuine desire to turn his life around."
