"downloading a few things and I got a little horny ... "

A Winnipeg man caught with his hands full while surfing for porn on a university computer wasn't going to be discouraged before getting the job done, a court heard yesterday.
The 26-year-old pleaded guilty to one count of committing an indecent act and three breaches of probation after security staff at the University of Manitoba's McDermot Avenue campus library caught him downloading porn from a public computer and masturbating on Aug. 4.
Court was told the man made no move to buckle up when approached by security staff and said "I'm almost done, can I finish?"

The man -- who was living on the street at the time of the offence and suffers from mental health problems -- later told police he took matters into his own hands "all the time" at the library.
In court, the man took issue with Judge Tim Preston calling his actions "public."

"I wasn't masturbating in public," he said.
'I do it all the time'
"I was just sitting at a computer, downloading a few things and I got a little horny ...
"I do it all the time."

Preston sentenced the man to time served and six months probation, sparking an argument from the man, who said he would rather stay in jail than serve more probation. He threatened he would re-offend if released.

"I'm not in the business of keeping people in jail longer than they need to be," said Preston.

"You're 26, you've got a long life ahead of you. I'm just saying you should keep the peace and be of good behaviour.

"That means not masturbating in a library or anywhere else. Got it?"
