To report my neighbour for indecent exposure in his garden?

On regular occasions when I look out of my bedroom window at the back of my house, I have seen the elderly neighbour opposite standing fully naked in his back garden. Not only this but he is touching himself, and stands right by his back door clearly wanting people to see. It's absolutely disgusting, and bothering me quite a bit, especially since I have young children.

I have looked into indecent exposure but this seems to need to be in a public place, not sure whether since this is his own garden whether that would count?

Does anyone know if I can report this and whether anything is likely to be done about it?

I realise it’s a Mumsnet cliche but if he’s elderly then he may not be fully compos mentis. Do you e er talk to him? Does he seem otherwise ok? I speak as someone with experience of dementia.

I don't know as I've never had spoken to him, (he lives on a different street but our yards back onto each other) but IMO he seems fine. A neighbour who lives in my street who has seen him doing it as well has said she has spoken to him before and he's sound of mind.

I had foster children who told me that a young female student living directly across the road was regularly stripping off at her window and dancing in the window. I was a bit disbelieving at first until I saw it myself, she was also looking directly over at the foster child's window as she was dancing. I spoke to the police who took it very seriously and paid her a visit. They gave me some follow up to say she had been very apologetic and didn't know why she was doing it but would stop. It did stop but I've always wondered why she did it, very attractive 18/ 19 year old young woman. The police did say that if she did it again they would attempt to charge her but I don't know what with

If you are that bothered could you out a note through his door or actually speak to him?

Our neighbour at the back has a house orientated side on. I am told he does a naked streak from his bathroom to bedroom. Problem is our houses have a window on the landing.

As we are a household of adults its only my 26 year daughter who notices. I’ve said the same to her, if you are that bothered go and speak to him. So far she has said nothing

If he’s sat wank then he’s breaking the law if he’s just parading around naked then he’s not

I think I'd ring 101 and ask what the law is on this.
