A 20-year-old man was filmed by his shocked neighbours as he carried out a sex act in his garden.
Jack Duff was spotted throwing off his dressing gown before carrying out the solo sex act in clear view of people in neighbouring properties.
Duff was placed under supervision for 18 months yesterday and ordered to attend the Tay Project to rehabilitate sex offenders. His details were not added to the sex offenders register.
Duff was recorded after neighbours spotted what he was doing and the incident was reported to the police.
Dundee Sheriff Court heard that Duff carried out a similar act in the garden after stripping off a second time more than a year later.
The court was told that Duff admitted carrying out acts of public indecency in Midmill Road, Dundee, on 21 March 2018 and 22 August 2019.
Fiscal depute Christine Allan told the court: "The witnesses were all neighbours of the accused. At 4pm on 21 March 2018 they were within their house when they observed the accused leaving the house with a housecoat on.
"He removed it and was naked. Due to hs strange behaviour they recorded him on their phone. The accused seemed unaware anyone was watching.
"He began masturbating for a short period of time before putting his housecoat on and running into the house.
"On 22 August 2019 another witness observed the accused again in Midmill Road. She saw the accused leaving his property.
"He was fully clothed and looking at a young female in the garden of a neighbouring property. He had his hand down his trousers and appeared to be masturbating.
"The witness was upset and almost crying. They observed him fully naked in his back garden. The accused was looking around for approximately two minutes."
Solicitor Iain Houston said: "It is clear from the witness on the second occasion that he appeared to be unaware he was being observed.
"This was not a situation where he was deliberately doing it in front of everybody."
