AN IRVINE man has admitted touching himself in front of two 16-year-old girls.

Steven Moffat, of Garnock Court, committed the offence in the rear lane behind Greenwood Academy on July 21.

The vile 53-year-old approached and spoke to the girls before repeatedly handling and rubbing his private parts over his clothing.

Moffat also stared at both of the girls before shouting at and pursuing another woman in the lane.

When appearing at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court last week, Moffat pled guilty to the offence.

His case was adjourned until August in order to gather social work reports.

Moffat was refused bail due to his previous record and the nature of the offence.

He was also placed on the Sex Offender’s Register.
