Woman found guilty of stalking herself

[Mahk]

^That was a good one and hard to even ponder...I'd say that if she never filed charges against her stalker that the suspect should not have to serve jail time.

[pennyfeedsfoxes]

its help she needs, not prison.

[bradders]

it's a suspended sentence so she won't actually go to prison, she needs help but she was causing distress to and pressurising the poor guy for quite some time so there was a victim other than herself

This story about Gary Coleman isn't that bizarre in itself but for these two sentences;

But it revealed police officers did respond to the 4ft 8in star's home on Sunday for an unnamed "civil disturbance."

Coleman is married to Shannon Price, who is almost half his age - and almost twice his height.

[RubyDuby]

I take it you aren't familiar with Gary Coleman?

[Risker]

Obviously not very, I didn't know he was married to the tallest woman in the world.

[RubyDuby]

'Extremely large' tradie guilty of indecency, told to destroy shorts

A CABINET-MAKER has been ordered to destroy his skimpy work shorts after exposing himself to eight women while performing renovations on their kitchens, a court has been told.

Mark Stephen Owen, 50, pleaded guilty in the Brisbane Magistrates Court today to 12 counts of performing indecent acts at various Brisbane homes between 1999 and 2008.

Prosecutor Lewis Shillito told the court Owen wore skimpy shorts or stripped down to his underwear while he worked, allowing what the women described as an "extremely large" penis to poke out from the fabric.

The court was told Owen would also masturbate in front of the women, aged between 45 and 83, and rub cream onto his exposed genitals while complaining of a rash.

Mr Shillito said Owen's actions made the women feel uncomfortable but that all allowed him to finish the renovations.

Only one woman initially reported Owen to the police but more came forward after police made a public appeal for help.

Owen, from Victoria Point, was given a nine-month jail term for the offences but was released immediately on probation for three years.

He was also fined $1000 after pleading guilty to two counts of possessing child abuse computer games.

Magistrate Noel Nunan ordered Owen's work shorts, which were seized by police, be destroyed.

He also refused Owen's request for the return of penis rings he had worn to work to enlarge his genitals.

Hunt for Worthing "poo thief"

A bag-snatcher on a bicycle pinched a bag of poo from an elderly dog-walker in Worthing.

The thief rode past the pensioner near the Post Office in High Street, Tarring, and grabbed a bag she had been using to clean up after her dog.

A spokeswoman for Sussex Police said: "A male on his pushbike came past her and snatched the bag, perhaps thinking that there was something of value inside.
