A man's unusual approaches to women did not achieve his objective of finding a partner for sex, but they did land him in a New Zealand court.
Yoon Suk Choi, an unemployed 36-year-old, appeared in the Christchurch District Court on Thursday to plead guilty to a charge of obscene exposure and three charges of offensive language and behaviour.
He had an interpreter helping him in court for the appearance before Judge Patrick Treston, who remanded him on bail for sentencing on December 5. He asked for a report on Choi's suitability for home and community detention sentences.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Neil Williams said that at about 11am on September 1, a woman saw Choi inside the women's public toilets below the ramp leading to the New Brighton Pier.
He was standing there masturbating.
The shocked woman asked if he knew he was inside the women's toilets, and when he said he was, the woman ran out.
An hour later, another woman saw Choi standing outside the entrance to the women's toilet at Waimairi Beach. He asked the woman if she could take him into the women's toilet for "a hand job".
The women was worried about her safety and ran to her car where she pretended to use her cellphone. Choi drove off in his car.
Thirty-five minutes later he stopped the car beside a woman who was walking along Marine Parade. He asked for her to get in the car and show him the way to the women's toilets.
When she refused, he asked her twice for her underwear.
The fourth incident took place two days later when a Hei Hei woman who was mowing her lawn saw him stop his car in the middle of the road. When he had been sitting the car awhile, she became concerned and asked if her was looking for someone.
He asked her directions to the ladies' toilets and she suggested he try a nearby park, but he then asked her for her underwear.
Sergeant Williams told the court: "In explanation for his behaviour, the defendant said that he was lonely and he was looking for a female to hopefully have sex with."

He's a danger to women. Lock him up before he hurts someone.
