Another one for you trisher:
A man who was observed masturbating on different days in three separate stores has been jailed for eight months.
Bo Yu (38) masturbated both on the shop floor of each of the stores and in one of the store’s changing rooms.
Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard that Yu was arrested following the final incident in which he was masturbating while at one of the store’s tills. He was found to be in possession of a sex toy, an unused condom and lubricants at the time of his arrest.
Yu, of Swiftbrook Drive, Tallaght, pleaded guilty to public masturbation at House of Fraser, Dundrum, on November 27th and 30th, 2019. He also pleaded guilty to public masturbation at Penneys, Dundrum, and at Marks & Spencer, Dundrum, both on December 3rd, 2019. He has no previous convictions.
He claimed to suffer both physical and emotional abuse from his father and he dressed as a woman “as a means of dealing with his stress and anxiety”.
At a previous hearing, a security guard at House of Fraser told Diarmuid Collins BL, prosecuting, that on the first date in November 2019, he noticed Yu wearing a dress and a wig while masturbating in the women’s section.
The security guard said that on the second date in November 2019, Yu was again observed masturbating in the store. Gardaí were contacted on both occasions.
A detective told Mr Collins that on the date in December 2019, a security manager at Penneys in Dundrum saw the accused man masturbating and then going into the women's changing rooms. Yu touched a number of items in the store, which were then removed and not sold.
Yu was told to leave the changing room and told to take with him a used condom found on a seat.
The detective said that on the same date, Yu was observed applying liquid to his hand and masturbating in the lingerie section of Marks & Spencer in Dundrum. The accused man then went to the till to pay for tights and was masturbating while at the till. Gardaí were called and they arrested Yu.
Could someone remind me again - who was disrespectful, harmful and discriminatory here?
Has anyone else done anything as daft as this?
