A father-of-two has admitted to masturbating for more than an hour near a Sydney train station in view of members of the public.

Kip Murray Perrin, 49, pleaded guilty to exposing himself in a public place when he appeared for the first time in Sutherland Local Court on Tuesday.

Agreed facts state Perrin is married, has two children and is a tradesman working as a storeman on the M6 tunnel.

The documents reveal Perrin was walking to a Geeves Ave bus stop, near Rockdale train station, when he undid his belt shortly before 7am on March 12.

Perrin then removed his shorts, sat on the floor and masturbated for an hour.

Several members of the public saw Perrin’s exposed genitals and reported his actions to the police. When officers arrived, Perrin immediately stood up, dressed himself and walked through the train station onto Railway St.

Officers were unable to find him but obtained a photo of him from a member of the public, along with CCTV footage.

A public appeal for information was issued and Perrin attended Kogarah police station where he told officers he had been out to dinner and drinks with work colleagues the previous night.

He continued drinking into the night at his boss’ house, leaving about 2am before he walked home via the train station.

Perrin told officers he did not masturbate or take his clothing off at the station but when he saw CCTV footage he said, “that’s not me, I’ve never done that before, but that is me”.

Perrin represented himself in court where he said he pleaded guilty after seeing himself in the CCTV footage.

Magistrate Hugh Donnelly said Perrin’s actions were “serious” but noted he had no criminal history.

Perrin will be sentenced next month after a report is prepared.
