.
A warrant of committal against the septuagenarian has been issued.
The respondent initially denied the charges.
He was however confused by the testimonies of three teenage girls and the video filmed by them.
They were walking in the park when they spotted the pensioner with his pants down.
The young girls walked up to the individual and saw that he was masturbating.
Threats during flight
The individual then punched one of the witnesses, aged 15, before fleeing.
He then threatened with a screwdriver the three walkers who were following him while calling the police.
The respondent was eventually intercepted by the police, to whom he initially claimed he was only urinating.
An examination of the septuagenarian's criminal record revealed the presence of 34 mentions, including 12 for sexual exhibition.
