A 76-YEAR-OLD man has been accused of touching himself inappropriately over his clothing while looking towards a group of young women at Liberation Station.

Paul Joseph Le Moine is charged with acting in a manner likely to cause gross indecency at the Esplanade bus station on 12 June.

The Magistrate’s Court heard that a bus driver allegedly witnessed the incident.

The court was told that Le Moine had been sentenced earlier this year for masturbating in his car in sight of two 17-year-old girls.

No plea was entered.

The case was adjourned until 10 November so a medical report could be obtained to assist the court.

Le Moine was released on conditional bail. Relief Magistrate Rebecca Morley-Kirk was presiding.
