A new catch-all Tea Shop thread for those miscellaneous new stories that don’t quite fit with parking, crashing into buildings or trapped/prisoners in their homes.

Shirley Road driver admits pleasuring himself near woman

A driver has admitted pleasuring himself as he drove slowly along a busy Southampton street near a young woman.

Harrison Carter, 21, admitted a charge of outraging public decency at Southampton Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.

It follows an incident on April 30 this year when he was spotted in a car on Shirley Road, Southampton. 

The court heard that the car was moving slowly at the time and that there was a “young female” close by to him.

Prosecutor, Laura Jenking-Rees said Carter also has ongoing court matters “of a similar nature” in Portsmouth. 

Sentencing was adjourned to be linked up with the other cases. 

He previously admitted stalking, exposure and outraging public decency in Portsmouth. 

Carter also admitted causing criminal damage to a window in Southampton on September 2 this year. 

Magistrates remanded him in custody as they said there were “substantial grounds to believe you would commit further offences”. 

Carter, of Bath Road, Southsea, Portsmouth, will next appear at Portsmouth Crown Court on December 21.

He isn’t a great fan of the plans as they don’t look like resolving the issues. 

And I’m with him… they better look after the Cat or I’ll also have a word!

They’ve got a mention of cars moving to Net Zero for tailpipe emissions. Yeah, don’t worry about the incredibly harmful and poisonous particulate matter that’s generated from tyres and brakes – that’ll just get rained off the roads into our rivers and waterways.
