A pervert masturbated in front of children and women in Carshalton Park has been given a 35 weeks imprisonment.

Paul Millard, 31, was seen masturbating in front of women and children in Poulter Park on April 27.

Our map below shows where he was misbehaving.

It was not the first time he had commited a sex offence. Police have not yet been able to say how he came to be on the sex offenders' register.

Millard, of Wood Street, Mitcham, was found guilty of committing an act of outraging public decency at Croydon Magistrates' Court earlier today.

He had denied doing it when he was arrested in May and was released on bail.

As a registered sex offender Millard was required to sign on at Sutton police station, but he failed to attend the station in June.

The case was then adjourned from July 14 until today.

At his sentencing Millard was given a 35 custodial sentence to be served in prison as well as a sex offences prevention order.
