AN ELECTRICIAN has been convicted of indecent exposure, following an incident involving an English tourist.

Benjamin King, 36, was spotted driving around the Alice Springs Public Library at lunchtime on Sunday, February 7.

The court heard he pulled up on Leichhardt Tce and shouted at the female tourist.

“You’re the hottest girl I’ve ever seen,” King said.

The court heard King had his penis exposed and it appeared that he’d been masturbating and had ejaculated.

King’s lawyer said his client had been electrocuted the previous afternoon, had taken methamphetamine, and had no memory of the incident.

In sentencing on Tuesday, Magistrate David Bamber said that King had “pleaded guilty to an offence which is serious” and “does call for some community protection”.

He recorded a conviction and imposed a two-year good behaviour bond with certain conditions imposed for the first six months.
