A man convicted of flashing workers at three insurance agencies in Warner Robins, Georgia, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Demarcus Tyrell Mann, 30, pleaded guilty but mentally ill in October, after he was arrested for public indecency in 2024. Mann reportedly walked into three different insurance agencies in the central Georgia city, talked with employees, then exposed himself, according to local news reports and court records.
Each time, he slipped away before authorities arrived. He was later apprehended. Court records show the man had been convicted at least three previous times for similar actions.
“Mr. Mann was not deterred by prior convictions, and his conduct escalated into a pattern of predatory behavior that posed a real threat to the safety and sense of security of people across Houston County,” the county District Attorney said in a statement, according to The Telegraph newspaper.
The judge sentenced Mann to such confinement as the state Department of Corrections decides, and noted that he must undergo mental treatment upon release. The victims were named in the court documents but the insurance agencies were not.
The Brazilian hosts of the conference said they’d eventually come up with a road map to get away from fossil fuels working with hard-line Colombia, but it won’t have the same force as something approved at the conference called COP30. Colombia responded angrily to the deal after it was approved, citing the absence of wording on fossil fuels.
The deal, which was approved after negotiators blew past a Friday deadline, was crafted after hours of late night and early morning meetings. After the deal was approved, COP30 President André Corrêa do Lago said the tough discussions started in Belem will continue under Brazil’s leadership until the next annual conference “even if they are not reflected in this text we just approved.”
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the deal shows “that nations can still come together to confront the defining challenges no country can solve alone.” But he added: “I cannot pretend that COP30 has delivered everything that is needed. The gap between where we are and what science demands remains dangerously wide.”
