Man exposed himself to women outside kebab shop after being taunted about size of his manhood

A man exposed himself to women outside a kebab takeaway after they taunted him about the size of his manhood, a court has heard. Abdul Rahim briefly pulled down the front of his trousers outside Swansea's Big Daddy's takeaway in an act he now accepts was a "drunken mistake."

The 33-year-old defendant has now been placed on the sex offenders register and the judge at Swansea Crown Court said the case was an example of how actions undertaken while under the influence of drink or drugs can have "life-changing" consequences for people.

Craig Jones, prosecuting, said the incident happened in the early hours of the morning of August 13 last year on Swansea's Wind Street. He said the defendant and the complainants in the case had encountered each other in a Wind Street club earlier that night when he had tried to talk to the women and hug them but they had made it clear they "did not want to interact with him".

By chance the parties met again outside the nearby Big Daddy's takeaway after leaving the club where "words were exchanged". Rahim responded by briefly lowering the front of this trousers in front of the woman to show his penis. The matter was reported to police and when the defendant was arrested he was found to be carrying a small quantity of cocaine.

Abdul Abdul Rahim, of Griffith John Street, Dyfatty, Swansea, had previously pleaded guilty to exposure and possession of cocaine on the day of trial when he appeared in the dock for sentencing. The plea to the exposure charge was on the basis that he had consumed "a lot" of alcohol on the night in question and that outside Big Daddy's the "girls" had shouted and pointing at him and told him he had a small penis while making "hand gestures" indicating the same. He said he responded by briefly pulling the front of his trousers down. For the latest court reports, sign up to our crime newsletter here

Alycia Carpanini, for Rahim, said the defendant grew up in Afghanistan and had post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of "childhood trauma" including the death of father at the hands of the Taliban when he was aged just six. She said in her submission it was clear from CCTV footage in the area that the females in question were not caused great distress by the incident, and she said the defendant accepted he had done the wrong thing and made a "drunken mistake" in reacting to being taunted in the way he had. The barrister added that Abdul Rahim had been forced give up his job in an Aldi supermarket due to being on a tag while awaiting sentence but was keen to find alternative employment.

Judge Geraint Walters said on the night in question the defendant had "taken too much drink" and reacted to aggressive finger pointing and hand gestures made by two females by "momentarily" pulling down the front of his trousers. He said the case illustrated how actions taken when people are drunk or have taken drugs can have "life-changing" consequences. Rahim was made the subject of an 18-month community order and was ordered to complete a rehabilitation course. The defendant will be a registered sex offender for the next five years.
