| Red Rose Database
Bacup Sexual Abuser
In a disturbing incident that took place in Burnley, a 75-year-old man with a troubling history of similar offenses was recently convicted and sentenced for his inappropriate behavior. The incident occurred on the evening of June 30, when David Nightingale, a resident of Acre Avenue, Bacup, entered a pub located on Parker Lane in Burnley around 5:30 pm.
Approximately an hour after his arrival, a female patron at the establishment became alarmed when she observed Nightingale engaging in a lewd act. She noticed that he had unzipped his trousers and was performing an indecent act in a manner that was clearly visible to others in the pub. The shocked woman immediately alerted her partner about Nightingale’s behavior, prompting him to cover himself up and quickly leave the premises.
Authorities were able to identify Nightingale through CCTV footage captured at the pub. The footage provided clear evidence of his misconduct, leading to his arrest on the morning of July 13. Following his detention, police conducted further investigations and coordinated with the Crown Prosecution Service.
As a result of these proceedings, Nightingale was formally charged with exposure. He appeared before Blackburn magistrates, where he pleaded guilty to the charges. The court subsequently sentenced him to 18 weeks in prison. Additionally, he was ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register for a period of seven years, a measure intended to monitor and restrict his activities moving forward.
Despite his previous convictions for similar offenses, Nightingale’s latest actions have once again brought attention to his pattern of inappropriate behavior. The case underscores the importance of vigilance and swift law enforcement response in addressing public indecency and protecting community safety.
