Idiot for the day

Philly.com has an article by Morgan Zalot about a real idiot:
A repeat sex offender was yanked off the street by police this weekend for allegedly exposing himself and masturbating in front of Philadelphia High School for Girls on several occasions recently, authorities said yesterday.
Samuel Hart, 45, of North Philadelphia, is charged with three counts each of unlawful contact with a minor/sexual offenses, corruption of minors, indecent exposure, open lewdness and harassment in a 25 March 2014 incident outside the school at Broad Street and Olney Avenue in Logan.
Hart was arrested at his apartment on Berks Street near 19th. He was being held at the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility in lieu of $150,000 bail.
Court records show that Hart has had more than fifteen prior arrests for similar charges since 1992, but he was not handed stiff penalties for the repeated acts. He served hard time once, when sentenced in 2007 to six to twelve months in jail and a year of probation for lewdness and indecent exposure, records show.
For several other convictions, records show, Hart was sentenced to probation. He has been a registered sex offender since 2007 for unlawful contact with a minor, according to the state Megan's Law registry. He beat similar charges in 2002 and 2004.
At the time of his most recent arrest, Hart was on probation for a 2012 indecent-exposure conviction. He is scheduled to appear in Family Court on 28 May 2014.
Rico says it's a shame that shock therapy has gone out of fashion... (But 'yanked off' and 'stiff penalties' and 'hard times'?; unfortunate allusions.) Let's hope the guy gets put away for a long time...
