A pervert French lawmaker landed in trouble after he was caught masturbating before two young girls in public.
French MEP Robert Rochefort has pleaded guilty after he was caught in a hardware store masturbating in front of youngsters, AFP reports.
Rochefort, 61 was arrested for sexual exhibition in late August in Velizy, a town near Paris. He was arrested after a customer at the store saw him expose his genitals to two teenage girls.
However, the lawmaker admitted the act before the police but told them that he normal masturbates to relief stress or when he is under stress, French media reported.
According to AFP, he later said that he had only made the comments to escape a night in custody, and that he had felt threatened after another customer had tackled him to the floor at the time, according to several reports in the French media.
On Wednesday, Rochefort took to Twitter to say that there was "good news" and that "there would be no further action" in the case.
He made no reference of any criminal conviction, but the public prosecutor told AFP that Rochefort had pleaded guilty and accepted his sentence, thereby escaping a public trial.
It remains unclear exactly what sentence Rochefort was given, although Le Monde newspaper reported that it may have just been a fine.
Rochefort, who represents the south west region in the European Parliament, lost his spot as the vice president of the liberal MoDem party due to the scandal.
