Lewis Richard, 20, from Cecilia Road, Ramsgate was handed the community order last month after he stole a significant amount of money from a friend.
The community order allocated to him stated that he had to carry out 200 hours' of unpaid work in Ramsgate however he only did a shocking 3 hours.
He was also reported to have done a sloppy job of the work, in one instance he was doing the job of retrieving discarded litter in Ramsgate High Street, however he purposely missed various pieces of litter and even added to some of it. Another time he was picking up golf balls at the Manston Golf Centre and he even stole some of the balls he had collected.
When he appeared before Judge Michael Simmons at Canterbury Crown Court he told the judge "I am not doing this work unless I am paid for it. Not paying me is against my human rights."
But the judge retorted: "Human rights? You're a criminal, you signed away your human rights the minute you decided to steal something that did not belong to you."
Judge Michael Simmons gave Richard an extension of 100 hours on his current unpaid work load. His original was 200 hours, of which he carried out 3 hours, his extension means he now must do 297 hours' of community service in Ramsgate.
However the judge has ordered that the work be more humiliating, so with the remaining 297 hours left on his community order, he must carry out humiliating tasks such as standing in the centre of Ramsgate High Street in an extremely embarrassing penis costume to act as a mascot to promote safe sex for Thanet teenagers. The penis costume is not optional, it is attire that must be worn to carry out the work. Failure to do so could result in a jail sentence for the offender.
Another job he will be required to carry out is to be a human scarecrow on farms surrounding the Thanet towns. This means he will be responsible for the farms' lively stock and will be held responsible if anything happens to it. In this case the appropriate attire is none at all - rain, shine or snow!
