John Bruce Kenney, of Ainslie, was given a three-month suspended jail sentence and fined $500 in the ACT Magistrates Court this morning.
He was heavily drunk when he turned up to a Wanniassa youth centre in March last year and touched a female employee's breast when she opened the door.
In October, Kenney was arrested again after stripping off at a public toilet block in Fyshwick and was found to be heavily intoxicated.
He had been found guilty of one charge of committing an act of indecency and had pleaded guilty to another charge of indecent exposure.
Special Magistrate Graeme Lunney said Kenney's admitted alcohol problem was a major concern.
He said Kenney had accepted responsibility for his actions and rehabilitation was important for the man.
Mr Lunney imposed a three-month jail term, fully suspended, for the act of indecency and ordered Kenney to undergo supervision, submit to drug or alcohol testing and undertake medical treatment as required.
He fined him $500 for the indecent exposure charge.
