Leslie King, 56, from Erith, has been nailed for exposing himself in broad daylight. Police swooped on the Oxleas Woods Cafe car park in Crown Woods Lane after reports of a man flashing his genitals on October 18, 2024.
Swift Police Action Leads to Arrest
Officers arrived quickly and arrested King, who was found wearing a mask, a balaclava and tights, during the incident. Despite pleading his case at Woolwich Crown Court, a jury ruled he deliberately sought to alarm or distress witnesses by baring himself.
Serious Sentence and Tough Restrictions
- Fined £500
- Ordered to pay £500 in victim compensation
- Charged £4,380 in prosecution costs
- Five-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO)
- Banned from wearing face coverings like tights or balaclavas in public
- Must register as a sex offender for five years
- The judge condemned and ordered the destruction of the exact tights and balaclava worn during the crime
King’s grim actions have landed him with a hefty punishment and strict controls to prevent any repeat. The order shows zero tolerance for such vile behaviour.
