Wayne Couzens joked about sexual assault in newly released WhatsApp messages Kidnapper, rapist, murderer. Now we can add flasher to the list of Wayne Cousins' crimes. Already, he will never leave prison, but today he was sentenced to yet more time. For the offence against A, count 2 on indictment number T20206038. The sentence is one of 19 months imprisonment.
