A Cleveland man to an employee of a Mentor tanning salon was sentenced Friday in .

Joseph Leslie, 61, will spend 10 days in Lake County Jail and another 30 on electronically monitored house arrest.

As part of his punishment, he will also have to receive counseling and stay away from the tanning salon where he revealed himself.

Judge John Trebets also put Leslie on probation for the next two years.

In November, Leslie walked into a Mentor tanning salon.

He and the salon attendant -- a 20-year-old woman -- were the only people in the business at the time, Mentor Police Lt. Tom Powers said .

The attendant told police that Leslie stared at her for awhile without talking. Then she noticed that he had exposed and was pleasuring himself, Powers said.

Next, another man -- one of the salon's customers -- walked in. So Leslie stopped what he was doing and ran away.

The attendant called police, who found Leslie in a nearby store.

Powers said that Leslie has been convicted of other sexual crimes previously, including public indecency, voyeurism and sexual importuning.
