A 60-year-old man from Valletta was arraigned in court yesterday evening on charges of offending public morals.
The incident occurred last Tuesday and on other occasions. Police received several reports that the man, Paul Lughermo, was seen masturbating in various areas in Sliema.
The man was identified through several photos, though none while the act was taking place. He pleaded guilty to offending public morals and also being a relapser.
He was granted bail on condition that he signs in at the Valletta police station and not visit Sliema.
Inspector Jonathan Ransley appeared for the prosecution.
