A pervert who chased a woman while clutching his exposed manhood got more than he bargained for when she attacked him with her handbag.

Charlie Moore had threatened his victim with rape after demanding she carry out a sex act on him.

But the courageous woman stood her ground and knocked the 20-year-old to the floor.

Maidstone Crown Court heard she had been confronted at 1.35am on February 20 as she walked along Rochester High Street.

Prosecutor Kieran Brand told how the woman overheard Moore and another man arguing.

She heard the Hoo resident offering £20 if the man would perform oral sex on him, a suggestion which was forcefully declined.

Mr Brand said: "As she crossed the road to avoid the men, the defendant started to follow her down an alley with his penis still out."

"She heard Moore say 'come here darling, suck my ****' while touching himself.

"She told him to leave her alone, at which point he said 'I'll rape you. Don't make me rape'."

The victim then telephoned police as Moore confronted her again and the second man intervened, calling Moore "sick".

"At that pointed she swung her bag and she and the second man knocked Moore to the ground where he was held until police officers arrived, " the prosecutor added.

Judge Julian Smith said the incident was "a bizarre offence but sinister".

He added: "The victim stood up for herself and confronted him and to her credit helped restrain him."

Moore, of Knights Road, admitted a charge of exposure.

When arrested, he lashed out at police officers after vomitting and then spitting

He also admitted several offences of stalking, assaults on a girlfriend and causing criminal damage.

Mr Brand said Moore was so controlling with his lover because of his "jealous paranoia".

He said he even demanded his ex-lover put her bedroom light on as he passed her home to prove she was at home.

Moore had also called her names and grabbed her around the neck and, on another occasion, threw a battery bruising an eye.

He received a total sentence of 13 months in detention.
