A Gold Coast man has been jailed after he filmed himself licking a woman's car and then rang her to tell her what he had done.

Sleiyde Christopher Patrick Allen, 26, was sentenced to 12 months behind bars after pleading guilty to stalking the stranger.

The court heard his victim looked Allen up on Facebook after receiving the strange call in which he confessed his actions.

On his profile, she found footage of him performing the same lewd act on a different car.

Police said he had a history of sending similar videos to strangers and the sentencing magistrate described his actions as "revolting".

Outside court, Allen's lawyer admitted he "does know it is strange behaviour" but offered no explanation for it.

"He is genuinely remorseful for his actions," Bettina Webb said.

"He does know it is strange behaviour, and once he's released from custody in November he does seek to sort those out by way of seeing a psychologist."
