According to police, Scott William Garvey, 38, of Turner Crescent, pulled up alongside a 46-year-old woman who was walking along March Street between Lords Place and Anson Street about 2.30pm on July 23 and called out to her through the open passenger window.
When she came closer he said “do you want to see me play with my d***?” and she saw that he was touching his exposed penis.
Police said she was shocked and reported the incident.
When he’s let out, the community still needs protecting from him so his rehabilitation is most important when sentencing Mr Garvey
- Magistrate David Day
About 9am on July 25, Garvey stopped in front of a 28-year-old woman who was walking her dog at the Hill and March streets roundabout and called out to her through the open passenger side window.
She also saw he was holding his penis and she said “are you f***ing serious?” and when he said “yes,” she told him to get a life, memorised his number plate and passed the details on to police who arrested him that day.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Carl Smith said the offences were stressful and confronting to the victims and could have possible ongoing psychological affects.
“Having come towards the motor vehicle and seeing the defendant doing what he’s doing would make any person think the worst is going to happen,” he said.

Solicitor Peter Ringbauer said Garvey had “no prior criminal record whatsoever” and had worked all his adult life until earlier this year and had personal troubles.
Magistrate David Day gave Garvey two 12-month supervised intensive correction orders which require him to participate in rehabilitation and treatment programs.
Mr Day said “at first blush this is disgusting,” but that Garvey was assessed as of medium risk of reoffending and there would be no rehabilitation programs available to him if he was given a short jail sentence.
“When he’s let out, the community still needs protecting from him so his rehabilitation is most important when sentencing Mr Garvey,” Mr Day said.
