Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

It has now been revealed that the man who was accused of, um, stroking himself in public outside a Cape high school has been found guilty of public indecency before.

48-year-old Jiyaad de Hahn of Tafelsig, who slurs his speech and constantly shakes, came forward to “clear his name” when his stepdaughter saw his picture in the Daily Voice.

He had been snapped by a resident standing outside a high school with his penis exposed. You can read all about that here.

Although de Hahn explained that his actions were a result of a stroke, police have now come forward to say that he has previously been accused of “perving on females,” reports IOL:

Police spokesperson Sinathi Joni says De Hahn has two previous cases of public indecency against him, and was also arrested for drug possession.

Joni says in July 2007, a 14-year-old girl opened a case at Woodstock SAPS, complaining about a then 38-year-old man “playing with and showing his private parts to her while she was on her way to school”.

“According to information at our disposal, the case was withdrawn on 5 June 2009.”

The previous year, in May 2006, a 37-year-old woman laid a charge of public indecency at Cape Town Central SAPS against the same man, who later pleaded guilty.

And in 2011, De Hahn was arrested in Mitchells Plain for being in possession of dagga. The case was later withdrawn.

Asked about these previous cases and the “soft-spoken man” admitted he was caught, but yet again blamed it on something else, this time his “drug addiction”:

“Those were misunderstandings. I was not myself, I was on drugs. I did not know what I was doing most of the time,” he claims.

More excuses? Either you’re one unlucky dude or you really should speak to someone about your, umm, needs.
