The cctv pictures in this link are pathetic but someone may be able to help the police

Appeal following indecent exposure in Clayton le Moors - Lancashire Constabulary

I once experienced a flasher and want to say how frightening it is.

Even though I was a mature woman I recall that the first reaction I had was the expectation of rape.

After the event, I thought of all the things I could have said and done, but when you are in a situation where you feel that you are about to be raped, shock prevents retaliation.

Some men regard it as a trivial offence and joke about it. To those men I say - how would you feel if you considered that you were about to be raped?

The thing that really bugs me about this sorta thing, is the pervs get no kind of sentence at all usually, seems the law also does not regard this as too serious to me.

Yes, some men do, fortunately the majority of men consider such action to be sick and want these people removed from the streets.

True indeed ... but the fact that the majority of men are not perverts, rapists, jerks, assholes etc. often gets obscured by all the publicity and media glare that comes along with high profile cases. It's difficult sometimes to remind oneself that not all priests are diddlers, not all muslims are fanatical suicide bombers, and not ... well, you get the picture. The decent majority always suffer from the acts of the scumbag minority.

Unfortunately the scumbag minority are in positions of power over the decent majority and can block any revelation of facts.

I repeat rubbish.

Such power would not be placed in the hands of the people that are so sad they have to go flashing in an attempt to relieve their inadequacies, their hands are no doubt full of the cause of their problems.

Get back to the Savile thread with your wanderings and leave this thread to the catching of the sicko mentioned in the first post.

at least they are doing something about it.About 2 years ago there was a man going around the park in haslingden exposing himself to school girls.To their credit most of them laughed and took pictures of him with their phones.Despite photo evidence and multiple reports to the police they didnt put a police presence in the park at school finishing time as he was able to continue until he assumedly got bored or fed up of been laughed at by teenage girls.

i hope this muppet in clayton meets someone who either kicks him hard between the legs or cuts it off

Some years ago a young man exposed himself to my mother........she seemed completely unfazed by it, and told him to 'put it away - I've seen more meat on a nasty fork'........it only hit home when she reported it to the police - then she was upset and outraged that a young man could do such a thing.

Hope they're not banking on the photo in the Observer to help catch him - he looks like a cross between a yeti and the honey monster...!!!

It makes yeh wonder wi the quality of the pics if cctv is such a good investment? cos thats as much use as tits on a fella.

I seem to recall an article that stated Accy having the best CCTV for a town... guess it never stretched as far as Clayton.

I don't get flashers...weird. Perhaps a relative of the horse fella

I think you have only got half the story, it was on the canal, and as far as I know, not many systems cover the wet bits.
The photo in the papers was from private CCTV which pointed onto the canal, but only to cover access to the storage area.
