A plucky woman confronted a pervert as he sat in his car brazenly performing a sex act, a court heard.

Rashpal Kalsi was parked in the street where he lives in Greenhithe and had the car door open as the victim was walking past.

But instead of fleeing she stopped and screamed at him: “What do you think you’re doing? What you are doing is wrong.”

The shocked woman took photos of the 42-year-old flasher and his car, making sure she got his registration number, before reporting him to the police.

She told a jury at Maidstone Crown Court she was on her way home from work listening to music at about 7pm on June 10 last year when she saw a VW with the driver’s door nearest the pavement open in Steele Avenue.

“The door was closed so I could walk past,” she said. “As he closed the door I took out my headphones to say thank you. His window was down.

“I was confronted with something I was not expecting to see. I saw the driver pleasuring himself. I paused and confronted him. I was shocked, naturally. You don’t expect to see that.

“We had a conversation. I screamed at him: ‘What do you think you’re doing?’

“We had a conversation. I screamed at him: ‘What do you think you’re doing?’

“I was surprised at his response when he said: ‘I wasn’t doing anything.’ I started to get angry and confronted him again.

“I said: ‘What you are doing is wrong. Put it away. He refused to put it away and said he was not doing anything wrong. He didn’t try to cover himself. He kept pleasuring himself while I was talking to him.

“Another lady joined me as we continued to have a conversation with the driver. She said there were children in the area.

“When she nodded towards kids, I thought: ‘Oh my God, is this why you are doing this?’ I told him: ‘It’s sick. I am going to call the police’.”

She took photos and he drove off.

Kalsi denied he had exposed himself or performed a sex act.

“I would never think of doing something like that,” he said.

“I didn’t intentionally do anything wrong. I didn’t cause anyone to be alarmed or distressed. If anybody is alarmed, I am very sorry about that. I live on the same road. A lot of people know my car down there.”

Kalsi was convicted by the jury of eight women and four men. Sentence was adjourned for reports until May 5.
