P. v. Matrine
In October 2007, while in California State Prison, Sacramento, Correctional Officer Rachel Rendon saw defendant looking at her through his cell window while masturbating his exposed and erect penis. Defendant then inserted his penis through the open food port and continued to masturbate. After approximately 30 seconds, he withdrew his penis from the food port and stuck out his hands, making a gesture with his index fingers estimating the length of his penis. Rendon sent Correctional Officer Jeremy Purdy to defendants cell. When Purdy arrived at the cell, he saw defendant walking to the back of his cell with his pants down below his buttocks. Purdy instructed defendant to lift his pants and submit to handcuffs. Defendant complied. Two weeks before the incident, defendant had apologized to Rendon for always looking at her and waving at her, but explained that he could not control himself because she looked like a porn star. Rendon admonished defendant, telling him his comment was inappropriate.
