A pervert French lawmaker landed in trouble after he was caught masturbating before two young girls in public.
Robert Rochefort
French MEP Robert Rochefort has pleaded guilty after he was caught
in a hardware store masturbating in front of youngsters, AFP reports.
Rochefort, 61 was arrested for sexual exhibition in late August in
Velizy, a town near Paris. He was arrested after a customer at the store
saw him expose his genitals to two teenage girls.
However, the lawmaker admitted the act before the police but told
them that he normal masturbates to relief stress or when he is under
stress, French media reported.
According to AFP, he later said that he had only made the comments
to escape a night in custody, and that he had felt threatened after
another customer had tackled him to the floor at the time, according to
several reports in the French media.
On Wednesday, Rochefort took to Twitter to say that there was "good
news" and that "there would be no further action" in the case.
He made no reference of any criminal conviction, but the public
prosecutor told AFP that Rochefort had pleaded guilty and accepted his
sentence, thereby escaping a public trial.
It remains unclear exactly what sentence Rochefort was given,
although Le Monde newspaper reported that it may have just been a fine.
Rochefort, who represents the south west region in the European
Parliament, lost his spot as the vice president of the liberal MoDem
party due to the scandal.
