Jesse Simm: Rosanna bus stop sex pest admits to ‘flagrant’ masturbation spree

A registered sex offender “flagrantly” exposed himself to a schoolgirl as he embarked on a drug-fuelled masturbation marathon.

A registered sex offender had been out of jail only nine months when he went on a day long masturbation marathon, starting at a public bus stop and continuing in the police cells.

Jesse Simm, 46, of Heidelberg, faced the Heidelberg Magistrates Court on Tuesday where he pleaded guilty to charges of indecency and committing a sexual act in the presence of others stemming from a drug-fuelled sex offending spree on April Fools’ Day.

The court heard Simm was lying on the ground in broad daylight at a bus stop on Turnham Ave in Rosanna when an approaching schoolgirl noticed he had his pants around his ankles and was obviously masturbating.

Another witness to the sex act overheard Simm talking to himself, saying, “mate, oh, come on”.

The court heard a passerby reacted by saying “you have got to be f**king joking, put it away mate”.

Simm continued for an estimated 30 seconds, before he got up and walked away slowly, with his pants around his knees.

Two men followed Simm down Lower Plenty Rd, with one taking a photo that police would use to identify and arrest the serial public flasher, who has previously told police he cannot control his urges when he is on drugs.

According to a police summary, Simm continued masturbating inside an interview room at Heidelberg Police Station, before being deemed unsuitable to be interviewed.

He did not stop until noon the next day, continually exposing police officers to his antics.

Both the interview room and his cell had to be professionally cleaned.

Defence lawyer Stephanie Spratt said it was “quite significant” her client had been out of trouble with the law for five months leading up to his arrest.

She said he had been working in a bakery in jail and that a supporter could pick him up as soon as he was released.

She said Simm’s offending took place when he was on drugs, but a magistrate said Simm had chosen to expose members of the public, including a schoolgirl to his “flagrant, outrageous behaviour”.

“People have a right to go about their business without being subject to this,” he said.

“This would have been a particularly disturbing incident for those who were unfortunate enough to be there.”

Simm will be sentenced on August 30.
