| Red Rose Database
Anfield Rapist
In a disturbing series of events near Liverpool's renowned Anfield stadium, Charles Farrell, a 49-year-old man with a troubling criminal history, was found guilty of exposing himself in a manner that caused significant distress to local residents. The incident took place in the autumn of the previous year, when Farrell, who resides on Alroy Road in Anfield, began a pattern of public indecency that alarmed several victims in the area.
According to court reports, multiple individuals, including women, a young girl, and a teenage boy, observed Farrell engaging in inappropriate behavior through his upstairs window. On the evening of October 6, witnesses saw Farrell fully naked, standing in front of his window with the blinds open, staring directly at them. One woman, visibly frightened, recounted her encounter, stating she feared Farrell might escalate his actions. The young girl expressed her concern about the possibility of being targeted again, while a teenage victim also reported seeing him on four separate occasions around that time. Additionally, a young male witness reported seeing Farrell at the window, further contributing to the growing list of victims.
Prosecutor Jonathan Duffy detailed the nature of the incidents, describing how Farrell would open his blinds and stand in the middle of the window, exposing his genital area with the room lights on, deliberately making himself visible to passersby. All victims reported feeling uncomfortable and distressed by his actions, prompting them to contact the police. When arrested, Farrell denied any wrongdoing, claiming innocence despite the evidence against him. The older woman who witnessed him expressed her fear that Farrell might take his behavior further, while others were left upset and disturbed by what they had seen.
Farrell, who appeared via video link from HMP Liverpool and now sports a Mohawk hairstyle, admitted to two counts of exposure and breaching his previously suspended sentence. His criminal record is extensive, with 13 previous convictions spanning 29 offences, including indecent exposure with intent to assault a female and arson in 1989. His past also includes a two-and-a-half-year sentence for armed robbery and firearm possession in 1994, and a ten-year sentence in 2000 for robbery and indecent assault, which involved targeting a lodger at his parents’ home.
Farrell is known to suffer from epilepsy, having experienced a seizure in court in 2017. Between May and June 2016, he made 45 hoax calls to 18 different police forces, claiming to be involved in various twisted sexual fantasies, including false allegations of rape. Prosecutor Derek Jones explained that Farrell’s actions ranged from sitting outside girls’ schools and observing nurses leaving hospitals to making false reports of sexual assault, all driven by his disturbing fantasies.
Judge Robert Warnock, who previously presided over Farrell’s case, expressed concern that jail time might undo the progress made through support and intervention. Ultimately, Judge Clement Goldstone, QC, sentenced Farrell to two years in prison and ordered him to sign the Sex Offenders Register for seven years. The judge emphasized that Farrell deliberately chose to stand naked in his window at a time when victims could see him, knowing full well the distress his actions would cause, and that he sought sexual excitement from these acts. This case highlights the ongoing issues of public decency and the importance of addressing mental health concerns within the criminal justice system.
