Gym response to being flashed in ladies changing room?

I don't understand why men do this. WTF is wrong with them? Sorry you had to go through that OP and hope you get the evidence. Could he even have been a staff member?

Lol at 'civilised'..the same people destroying lives and exploiting people..so long as it's sanctioned by 'the law' ..smh

Yes. There have to be mechanisms for knowing exactly who's in the building.

Yes. Countries which are not civilised have the death penalty. People who endorse violent retribution outwith the framework of the law are thugs. Not that it's relevant to the OP's distress so I won't derail any further.

I've no time for vigilantes, thugs and those who endorse them.

I don't agree with the death penalty...you know why? not because people who take lives don't deserve to die..but if you get it wrong you cannot take it back..a person who is potentially innocent has more value than an openly guilty person..

Report it asap the gym has to have a record of all the males that were in the gym at the time.

I was wondering how long it would be until someone championed the death penalty. There are VERY few democracies who still have it. There is a reason for that. It belongs back in the dark ages with a number of posters on this thread.

100%

Many countries have the death penalty as retribution. That is acceptable to them. And I'm not talking Iran or Saudi either, but the USA.....plus there are many people who want it brought back in the UK.

Remember, what's acceptable for some, isn't for others. Leave people to their own opinions, even if you don't agree.

No..because if you want to get biblical an eye for an eye is actually fine..you murder or rape someone you don't get away with it...and mutual exclusivity doesn't actually make sense in this case...someone getting justice that is not sanctioned by the powers that be does not mean it's not justice..Imagine some think 'thug' (possible natural justice) violence is worse than openly sanctioned and systematic lack of justice..the mind boggles

And yes, I agree.

Don't even go there with me

Good grief. Violent assault as perceived retribution is never acceptable.

@MistressoftheYoniverse - those things aren’t mutually exclusive. It’s almost like there is a famous saying for this… an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind - no?

Good for you...amazing you feel a rapist isn't a thug ..everyone feels how they do..

Agree @PinkPantherPrat . The justice system lets victims down terribly but the alternative is just thug violence which is worse. I hope the system didn’t let you down

Op get the police involved. Depending on the layout of the changing rooms could he have come from the pool side rather than the dry side. Or hidden in a cubicle or shower until there was only one female in.

And as other have said he may have had a female disguise, wig, baseball cap, big jacket

My thoughts entirely.

Nope, I can't stand vigilantes. And yes I have been raped and went through police and CPS. At no point did I want to kick his teeth in.

Thugs are thugs (very self justifying ones)

I'm not oblivious, I'm just not at the behest of criminals..you obviously didn't read what I said..it's not about rage..it's about justice and sometimes the police/government can't give you that.
Really weird you call a sexual offence a 'nasty fright' and ' he shouldn't have been in there' seems like you down play this type.of behaviour..I don't

Oh hush. Stop being so lily-livered.

With our police being so slow, uncooperative and disinterested, no wonder people take the law into their own hands.

It got the job done and dealt with. Hopefully he wouldn't dare go on to sexually assault any more lone females.

👍👍👍

@MistressoftheYoniverse you seem oblivious to the fact that's it a crime in itself to physically attack someone. The poster upthread who said about her grandmother has justified feelings about what she would want to do. Doesn't mean she would actually do it but I can understand the rage.

Anyway this is deflecting from OP, @Yajebbend really hope you can contact police because it gave you such a nasty fright and he shouldn't have been in there.

Highly unlikely I would be targeted my dear...I've just lived long enough and I'm not naive in the workings of the police and the judicial system do I condone 'mob justice' No..but I'm not immune to the affect of natural justice...Currently my daughter was attacked in her own home by a 'friend' invited by her roomates into their home...As her Mother I advised her to go to the police...report it...go through an invasive and stressful examinations questioning etc...Where is this man? On holiday outside of the UK until recently...they had a 'chat' with him but of course they have to follow the process...you also have to hope they continue with the case and where is she? In therapy and struggling with her mental health...If someone kicked his teeth in would I be sorry ..No..

100% the police and the gym can talk to them.
if there’s a Fb page I’d comment on it too!

I'm sorry this happened to you. It's traumatizing and violating, especially when you were already in a highly vulnerable position.

Contact the police immediately so it's on record. You could be helping other members

@MistressoftheYoniverse absolutely not, that was disproportionate. Might have instilled anger in him and led him to do it again. Instead of reporting it to police where he would be cautioned and it would have been on record. The 'boyfriend' needs cautioning as well.

I was flashed at last year and kept in very close contact with the police. It didn't occur to me once to hit him. He ended up commiting suicide so that came to an abrupt end.

I seriously dislike yobbos.
