Sick of flashers. Sick of people minimising flashers.

Just that really. This will sound unbelievable but I can assure you it’s absolutely true.

Last week a man exposed himself to me whilst I was walking my dog in the park. The following day, a drunk man came up to the floor to ceiling window of a venue where I was having a meeting, looked right at me in an intimidating way and started wanking. The week before a man with learning difficulties who lives in supported accommodation in a house in my road exposed himself to myself and also to a neighbour twice. The previous man who lived there did the same thing repeatedly, the carers don’t safeguard their residents at all.
Today, I took a group of 12 year olds to a museum (I’m a teacher) and as we left a man called put to the children and then dropped his trousers. (Luckily he was the other side of a busy road, not all the children noticed and all are ok).

Two of the adults that I had to inform about this at school, and one of my friends said “Oh, what is it about you Audacia, ha ha ha”. It’s not funny. I don’t want to walk my dog on my own any more. The man with LD sometimes escapes from his accommodation, or he’s always pressed up against the window every time I go out. I know he can’t help it but I don’t feel safe and I’m sick of this.

Take it you're not uk. It's 6mth for possession and 7prison if used.

Correct.

But you can legally carry the dog spray a PP mentioned. Who's to say there wasn't a dog in the vicinity of the indecent exposure?

The first time I was flashed I wax 4 years old. I was with my male friend. I was raped by what we would have called a transsexual when I was12. Somebody who was ‘harmless’ & a bit ‘eccentric’

it’s not funny, .

@TomorrowToday , because I had to be in the office at 9am and like any London commuter, that was my only focus at the time. It took me several minutes to actually register what had just happened.

In any case, have you been to that station at that time? I'm not sure anyone would have stopped

I don't have the answers unfortunately, its not right that women have to go along these lines just to go about everyday activities.

That's absolutely horrific, I thought back to the various local weirdos they weren't just a bit strange they were sex offenders. 70s early 80s.
