Barber gets four years in absentia after exposing himself to female customer

Feb 12, 2020 News

Principal Magistrate Faith McGusty yesterday issued an arrest warrant for 41-year-old Ceon Cantzlaar, a barber of Henry Street, Lamaha Spring, Georgetown. The man was found guilty of exposing his genital to a female customer and of sexual assault.
The man, who is charged for showing a female customer his penis and touching her in a sexual way, was released on $75,000 bail for the offences, earlier. He failed to show up in court for the ruling of the matters.
The Magistrate ruled that there was sufficient evidence and as such Cantzlaar was found guilty of the offences. He was sentenced in absentia to two years each for both offences. The sentencing will run concurrently.
The matters were held in camera.
The defendant had denied the charges when he made his first court appearance. The first charge stated that on September 24, 2019, at Aubrey Barker Road and Festival City Entrance North Ruimveldt, Georgetown, he exposed his penis to a woman.
It was also alleged that on the same date and location, he touched the thigh of a woman in a sexual way without her consent.
According to reports, on the day of the incident, the victim went to the barber shop where Cantzlaar works to cut her hair. The defendant started playing vulgar music, started dancing and took out his penis and showed the victim while attempting to kiss her and touched her thigh.
The victim left the barber shop and the defendant sent her several messages via WhatsApp apologising for exposing himself to her.
The matter was later reported and an investigation was carried out. Cantzlaar was subsequently arrested and charged for the offences.
