This is the first picture of driving instructor Stephen Cooney - on trial for concealing a 12-inch carrot in his pants.

Cooney is on trial at Teesside Crown Court for two indecent assaults and three sex assaults.

The court heard today how he hid a carrot in his trousers and pretended to be aroused during one driving lesson.

Cooney of Ronaldshay Terrace, Marske-by-the-Sea, Cleveland, denies the charges.
