A man who exposed himself to two girls at a seaside resort claimed he had taken off his trousers because he spilled Coca Cola on them.
Martin Lewis was already a registered sex offender when he drove to Exmouth beach and got out of his car wearing nothing below his waist.
When police intercepted him nearby he was still half naked. He said he has spilt a drink over his trousers but the officer found them totally dry on the back seat.
Lewis was also found to have broken a ban on using the internet and posted an obscene picture on Facebook under the pseudonym Devonguy.
He was banned by a Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO) from using social media but started accounts on Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook, Exeter Crown Court was told.
Lewis, aged 44, of Hookhills Grove, Paignton, admitted three offences of exposure and six of breaching a SOPO. His case was adjourned by Judge Phillip Wassall to enable the prosecution more time to present evidence about posting of indecent an image of himself on social media.
Mr David Bowen, prosecuting, said two young women visiting a beach hut in Exmouth were shocked to see Lewis get out of his car naked from the waist down.
He drove off but came back a few minutes later and did the same thing. Police were called and found him nearby, still in his car.
Mr Bowen said:"The officer approached the car and saw he was again naked from the waist down, thus exposing himself for the third time. He said he had spilt Coke on his trousers but the officer found them in the car and they were dry.
"One of the girls said she was sure Lewis was directing his behaviour towards them. She thought it was weird."
He said inquiries showed Lewis was subject of a SOPO and had broken its terms by using Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook.
Mr Gareth Evans, defending, said the charges he faces for these offences do not include the allegation of posting an image of his private parts on Facebook and merely refer to him breaking the SOPO by using social media.
Judge Wassall said he needed to know why this charge was not before him and adjourned the case for the prosecution to bring it to court.
He said:"This is disturbing behaviour, bizarre and unusual in the extreme. There is reference in the offence analysis about him linking a connection to Facebook with images of him exposing himself.
"This is probably the most aggravating feature and I am not going to be able to deal with this case without this being resolved."
