NASSAU- It’s been seven months since Joel Griffin’s arrest for exposing himself to a 10-year-old girl as she walked to school.
He pleaded guilty to indecent exposure at his arraignment before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt on March 25, the day after his arrest.
But she suspended sentencing for a psychiatric report after Griffin revealed that he’d been admitted to Sandilands Rehabilitation Centre (SRC).
Due to a halt on admissions at SRC, Griffin was remanded to prison.
He remains in limbo as the court awaits word on his mental state.
At a court appearance this month, Griffin told the magistrate that he had finished his medicine and he hoped to go home.
Motorists sprang into action when they saw Griffin walking behind the Palmdale Primary School student on Madeira Street with his penis showing.
Griffin fled—but police caught him a short time later.
During an interview later that day, Griffin said the size of the child’s butt caused him to expose himself.
Griffin said because his “hip was already showing he thought it would be sexy for his penis to show as well.”
