SIXTY-THREE-YEAR-OLD Balram Ramkhalawan, who, allegedly, dangled his penis before his elderly mother was spared another jail term on Tuesday, after the octogenarian woman decided not to go ahead with the case.

“I am sorry for him. Two years ago, he tripped (acted as though he had an unsound mind),” said Regina Ramkhalawan to Magistrate Rabindranauth Singh at Albion Court.
She said she had taken the defendant to Dr. Mayda (a psychiatrist), but, after then, he refused to take his medications at times.
On December 12, her son returned home in a drunken stupor and she rebuked him.
However, he became annoyed and an argument ensued between them, resulting in him dragging her by her long braids out of a hammock, whilst dangling his penis before her.
His action caused her much alarm and distress, resulting in her going to Albion Police Station where the incident was reported.
Consequently, he appeared at Albion Court where he pleaded guilty to assault but denied the additional charge of exposure of his genitals.
In a previous court case, the woman had stated that her son was in the habit of beating her whenever he was under the influence of alcohol and, on that occasion, he was sentenced to two years imprisonment.
