A massage therapist was hauled into court yesterday after he admitted to masturbating and ejaculating on a 78-year-old woman.

The 51-year-old man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged with ten counts of prowling, indecent acts and sexual assault involving four different women over a four-year span.

He pleaded guilty to several charges while pleading not guilty to others, including the sexual assault.

It was alleged that in October, 2000, he broke into the Paget bedroom of the 78-year-old woman while she was sitting on her bed.

Wearing nothing but a black mask and a shirt, he ?committed an indecent act? in front of her before ejaculating on her, her bed and the floor of her room.

He then ran and she called the Police.

In January, 2001, the same woman was babysitting her granddaughter at her daughter?s house in Paget when the same man ? dressed in the same manner ? showed up again.

Unable to get in the house this time, he remained outside while masturbating before disappearing into the night.

The man also admitted to prowling about the house of a 66-year-old Paget woman on Saturday wearing nothing but his mask and shirt, as well as around the houses of two other Paget women earlier this year and last year.

Acting Senior Magistrate Carlisle Greaves ordered a social inquiry report and victim impact statements to be made before he sentenced the Paget prowler on the guilty pleas and ordered him to reappear for mention in Magistrates? Court on July 28 to set a trial date for the sexual assault.
