A man from Mansfield, who has been desribed as a 'public nuisance', has been jailed. Valerian Ciornei, 53, repeatedly exposed himself, harassed young women and appeared drunk in public.
He has also been given a restrictive court order which bans him from doing a series of things in Mansfield town centre. Ciornei, who has been arrested multiple times over the last two years, appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (November 17) where he was jailed for 42 weeks.
The sentence related to four charges including an incident on August 12 this year when he was seen performing a sexual act in public. On other occasions, he made lewd and threatening comments to a woman at Mansfield bus station, stole a pair of jeans, carried a knife in public and threatened to kill a shopworker after being asked to leave.
