Unlucky towel drop or something more sinister?

[BringBiscuits]

My dd and her friend went swimming today (10 and 11). They came home laughing about the ‘poor old man’ who was in the changing rooms and ‘accidentally’ dropped his towel. They were in the showers and the changing cubicles are accessed from the shower area. (Male and female mixed). According to them he didn’t rush to pick up the towel and they saw ‘everything’. Most worrying is that he had winked at my daughter before this happened.
Thankfully they think the whole incident is hilarious and are completely believe it was put bad luck for the poor old man to drop his towel. AIBU to think this guy is a dirty old pervert who has deliberately flashed at two pre teen girls?

YANBU. Deffo perv.

We have a communal changing village at our swimming pool, I wasn't thrilled at the idea but it makes it easier when you have a son. Things like this is why I didn't like the idea in the first place. And someone was done for filming under cubicles with a mobile phone.

The only time you’d take your trunks off is in a cubicle so guilty as charged.

From what the OP describes it is not accidental. The only decision is whether it should be the leisure centre manager or the police to involve.

As for mixed changing rooms, the motive is probably to save money by requiring fewer staff in attendance. This is one of the changes to leisure facilities/centres that results from the decision to contract out such services in the 1980s and 1990s, and contributes to the levels of obesity we have nowadays.

I saw a bloke standing naked in the shower area in view of the pool at a certain angle

I knew it was deliberate, it was obvious.

Why this man did was obviously flashing your dc. Absolutely pursue this the whole way, the centre should be able to find out who he is

He’s a filthy paedophile he needs to be caught and punished
