A man claimed he was just warming up in a sauna, but the truth was far more shocking. His actions left witnesses horrified and led to legal consequences.
The woman was understandably shocked. She saw him rubbing himself while looking right at her. It lasted for a few minutes before staff intervened. They quickly banned him and called the police.
Zhang later claimed he was just cold and trying to warm up. He insisted it wasn’t a sexual act, but the court didn’t buy it. They found his story inconsistent and ruled it was for sexual gratification.
He had been a regular at the Tom Husband Leisure Centre for over ten years. On that day, he had swum for nearly an hour before heading to the sauna.
The woman testified that he stood up, pulled his pants down, and started touching himself. She felt angry and vulnerable, especially since it was a public space.
Staff members had seen Zhang act strangely before but didn’t have enough evidence to confront him. When they finally did, he tried to deny what he was doing, saying it wasn’t what it looked like.
Zhang even referred to his genitals as “my chicken.” He claimed he was just adjusting his shorts due to eczema. But the court found his explanations hard to believe.
In the end, the magistrates decided to order a pre-sentence report. Zhang could face up to six months in prison when he’s sentenced in June. It’s a wild story that left everyone talking.
