A PROLIFIC flasher has been given a second Asbo for exposing himself just three days after being sentenced for a near-identical offence.

John Bustin performed a sex act in front of a 37-year-old woman and her 20-year-old daughter in Cowley, Oxford, on Monday, September 13.

He was given a two-year supervision order at Oxford Crown Court on September 10 for exposing himself to two teenage girls on June 15.

Sentencing was put back four weeks by Judge Julian Hall, who told Bustin: “I think it’s time the courts tried once again to see if you can’t be helped to behave in a more stable way.”

Yesterday he was handed a suspended jail term and a new two-year Asbo by the court, banning him from exposing himself. The 45-year-old, who was given a three-year Asbo in 2006, has 24 previous convictions for 44 sexual offences dating back to 1984.

Bustin abstained from alcohol in the past month and had not offended again, the court was told yesterday.

Describing the September 13 incident, Alistair Grainger, prosecuting, said Bustin was “stumbling around naked, wearing only shoes and socks”.

The mother described him having ‘an evil look on his face’, Mr Grainger said.

When police went to arrest Bustin at his home in Coleridge Close, Cowley, he was ‘acting erratically’ and ‘at one stage urinated against his own door’, the court heard.

Stephen Parker, defending, said: “The issues he has in his life are alcohol related.”

Judge Christopher Compston said Bustin had ‘behaved in a disgraceful way’. He said: “I’ve no doubt in some ways you’re an intelligent man. It’s about time you began to realise the damage you do by your behaviour is quite incalculable.

“There may be some women who are robust and can cope, but there are some vulnerable ladies who cannot.”

He described Judge Hall’s original sentence and subsequent decision to defer sentencing as “very humane and wise”.

The Asbo prevents him from exposing his genitals in a public place other than in a public convenience and only then for the sole purpose of using such facilities, and being in a state of indecent undress in public view.

Bustin was also given a three-month jail term, suspended for two years, with a two-year supervision order.

A requirement to attend a sex offenders’ programme imposed on September 10 was allowed to stand.
