JAIL FOR FLASHER WHO EXPOSED HIMSELF TO 2 WOMEN IN NOTTINGHAM
A Nottingham criminal with an astonishing 67 convictions for 165 offences was twice caught exposing himself to women.On the first occasion, Stephen Hind was seen touching himself sexually by a woman as she looked out of her window.
Then, four days after being given an opportunity of avoiding a prison term with a suspended sentence, he carried out the same lewd act in front of a police officer.
Jailing the 39-year-old for a total of 22 months at Nottingham Crown Court, Judge Julie Warburton said: “On the first offence you were shouting at her from outside her house and she looked out.
“She heard you saying that you loved her but then she saw you touching yourself (sexually) with a can of alcohol in your hand.
“You were arrested for that and handed a sexual harm prevention order in August.
Then, four days later you committed the second set of offences which involved shoplifting wine from a Tesco store having already stolen a bottle of wine earlier from an Iceland store.
While you were in custody you made sexual remarks at a female police officer who then observed you exposing yourself and she told you to ‘put it away’.
I have read her victim impact statement in which she says what you did made her feel uneasy and that she should not have to be subjected to this kind of treatment.
You are 39 years of age now and you have 67 convictions for 165 offences.
It is a very sad state of affairs given you had worked in the retail industry in a management role for many years.
But I have been told that family tragedies sent you into a spiral and vicious cycle of offending.
I am told you now want help from rehab and that you should be given a chance.
But you were given a chance last time and breached it only four days later.
I have no confidence you will take hold of the mantle now.
