AN IRVINE man who performed a sex act whilst on a public footpath in the town is awaiting sentence.
Jourdain Burns appeared at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court earlier this week with two matters to be addressed.
The 40-year-old was due to be sentenced having previously pleaded guilty to one charge of public indecency.
He admitted doing so on a footway between Broomlands Busway and Lower Vennel, on November 11 last year, by performing a sex act on himself.
As the Irvine man, of South Vennel, appeared in the dock - his solicitor Peter Murray noted that background reports which had been called for were not yet available.
Sheriff Nicola Patrick deferred sentence further to allow time for these to be prepared.
Burns will return to court for this matter at a later date and was remanded in custody meantime.
Whilst the defence lawyer, Mr Murray, also tendered a not guilty plea in relation to another charge which Burns faced.
The 40-year-old denied an accusation of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner at an address in the town's Burnbrae Drive on November 6 last year.
It is claimed that Burns done so by loitering in the driveway of the property, staring in a motor vehicle window and entering the garden.
It is also alleged that he then stared into the home which he then tried to enter.
Following Burns' not guilty plea, a trial date was set for the matter with this to take place later this year.
