DARWIN’S “world record masturbator” Gary Chisholm has again gotten off without any hard time for playing with himself at the Casuarina nudist beach.

Chisholm pleaded guilty in the Darwin Local Court to one count of gross indecency in a public place after “gripping, pulling and flicking his erect penis” while watching two teenage girls at the beach in 2019.

In sentencing submissions on Friday, prosecutor Ian Rowbottom said Chisholm had not taken ­advantage of previous opportunities to rehabilitate himself and it was now time he was locked up.

“He’s been very reluctant to take medication due to its negative impact on his sexual function,” he said.

“He seems almost treatment resistant.”

Mr Rowbottom said public indecency “seems to be becoming quite prevalent” in Darwin and Chisholm’s case lacked the “usual features” such as alcohol consumption.

But defence lawyer Peter Maley rejected that suggestion, saying releasing Chisholm on a suspended sentence with conditions compelling him to seek treatment “would be, in the long term, in the best interests of the Darwin community”.

Mr Maley said Chisholm had been diagnosed with the sexual disorder of “exhibitionism”, which he said was “entirely consistent with the pattern of behaviour, really, which has peppered most of his adult life”.

“This is an unusual and quirky offence at best, it’s not something which is on the rise,” he said.

Mr Maley said his client had managed to stay out of trouble since the incident in 2019.

Chisholm spent much of the hearing muttering and swearing under his breath.

Judge Greg Macdonald handed Chisholm a three month sentence, suspended for 18 months, on the condition he got help to deal with his issues.

“Mr Chisholm was totally disrespectful and oblivious to the wishes of those persons on whom he was inflicting his onanistic tendencies,” he said.

“All he was doing was thinking of himself and no one else.”
