A Clarendon Preparatory mother was so incensed when a man flashed his genitals at her after she picked up her four-year-old daughter on Tuesday, she made sure he got arrested.
It was the second time in a week that the well-dressed flasher “wiggled” his penis at Quinta Carr, 36, as she drove away from the school along Cheltenham Road towards Union Avenue.
According to Optimum Security company owner Garfield Botha, whose daughters attend the school and who apprehended the flasher, it was not the first time the man had exposed himself in the same spot.
Carr said the man parked his vehicle about 100m from the school parking and then sat across the road under a tree.
“When I drove past at about 12.30pm he stood up and wiggled his penis from side to side.”
Carr said she had been confronted by the same flasher a week ago when both her daughters were in the car.
“This time I didn’t drive past. I made a U-turn and drove back to the school gate where an Optimum Security vehicle was parked and raised the alarm.”
She said the flasher started walking away from his car on open ground in the direction of a Union Avenue hotel.
“When he came out of the bush he was relaxed and chatting on his phone. Other mothers have seen him do this too and one said this was why our children can’t walk to school, because of sick people like that.”
Botha said his wife, Cindy, had also had to endure the flasher’s anti-social behaviour after picking up their children. “We arrested him in the bush,” he said.
Police spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Mtati Tana said a 32-year-old man was arrested on charges of public exposure and would appear in court tomorrow. — barbarah@dispatch.co.za
