A flasher exposed himself to two women in a Brighton Park, Sussex Police said.
The force said: “We are appealing for witnesses after reports of a man exposing himself to women in Stanmer Park, Brighton.
“Two separate incidents were reported on Saturday, 12 September at around 3pm.
“The man, who was aged between 17 and 25 with short brown hair, was reported to be pretending to urinate behind a tree but then exposed himself as women walked past him.
“He was wearing grey shorts, a grey tracksuit top and a t-shirt.
“Police patrols are being increased in the area for reassurance.
“If you have any information which could help our investigation including any mobile phone footage, please call 101 or report online, quoting serial 62 of 14/09.”
But it’s ok for a load of naked cyclists to parade along Hove seafront in front of women and children, with a police escort, presumably paid for by the taxpayers. They were mostly men, and they were walking along the seafront taking photos of eachother. How is that any different to what was going on in stanmer park?
Oh dear if you can’t understand the difference perhaps perhaps you should move out of Brighton . Try turning the light on you might discover that men’s bits need not be feared 😀
Public nudity itself is not a criminal offence.
Under the Sexual Offences Act 2003, public nudity is only an offence if it is done with the intent to cause harassment, alarm, or distress. Since the ride is organised as a peaceful protest aimed at raising awareness about cyclist vulnerability, oil dependency, and car culture, and participants do not intend to alarm or distress others, it does not meet the legal threshold for indecency.
Flashing one’s genitals as described in the article, is done with the intent to cause harassment, alarm, or distress.
That’s the difference!
Probably someone from another culture where this is acceptable Rachel was right about the naked bike ride too
Don’t be ridiculous.
