A man pleaded guilty in Kelowna court on Wednesday for publicly exposing his genitals to a teenager last July.

Court heard that Jesse Nelson, 29, was walking away from a Tim Hortons parking lot towards an apartment and yelling, when he turned around and pulled down his pants, exposing himself to a 14-year-old.

Nelson was soon located by Kelowna RCMP at the apartment building and was arrested.

One month later, in August, Nelson was arrested again for breaching a probation order.
