A pervert who was confronted by a plucky woman when he exposed himself as he brazenly sat in his car has been spared jail.

Rashpal Kalsi continues to maintain he is innocent, but a judge said he was convicted on “the clearest and most compelling evidence”.

The 42-year-old bakery worker 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 the **** do you think you’re doing? What you are doing is wrong.”

The shocked woman took photos of the married father 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 open in Steele Avenue.

“The door was closed so that 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. He was in the driver’s seat.

“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 the **** do you think you’re doing? 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.

“I got angry and pulled my phone out and took a photo of him. I got a photo of his registration, then I called the police. He drove away with his bottom half naked.”

Sentencing Kalsi to four months imprisonment suspended for a year, Judge Adele Williams told him: “You are still in denial about your behaviour and it is high time you took responsibility for what you were doing.

“You deluded nobody except yourself. What is more you did it in the presence of a woman doing no more than walking from the train station to her home.

“She was rightly shocked. She confronted you and you brazened it out and tried to escape responsibility when you came to court.”

The judge, who also ordered Kalsi to do 80 hours unpaid work and pay £1,000 costs, added: “You need to reflect on what you did.”

His name will appear on the sex offenders’ register for seven years. He will be subject to a tagged curfew for two months from 9pm to 5am.
