A woman was subjected to a shocking indecent exposure on a footpath in Ryde earlier this evening (Sunday).
The local woman was walking through the wooded area of Rosemary Lane and Pig Leg Lane, between Great Preston Road and Ashey Road, at around 17:15 when she was caught by surprise.
A man is reported to have indecently exposed himself and continued to ‘play with himself’ as the victim walked away.
The woman wasn’t physically harmed.
It didn’t take long for the lady to return home and inform her family, who then proceeded to search the area.
A male was followed from the area towards town and Police moved in to make an arrest at around 18:00. The detained individual has been taken into custody for questioning.
UPDATE – A 37-year-old man from Ryde has been arrested on suspicion of indecent exposure, Police have confirmed.
Hampshire Constabulary say they received a report at 17:47 yesterday (Sunday 12th July) of a man indecently exposing himself in a field near Rosemary Lane, Ryde.
The suspect has been questioned by officers investigating the report and he has been bailed until 9th August.
The only persuasion needed is a size ten into his cobblers .
My post of less aggression was removed.
So perhaps violence against such filth is more acceptable than just having a ‘chat’. Odd morals on here.
Understand how you feel, as if that were anyone I cared for, would feel the same.
This cretin ought to be castrated NOW, before it does real physical harm to some innocent girl. Chemicals are one option, but not the only one. At least it wouldn’t then breed more clones to harm others in the future.
These weird piece of filth needs removing from society for a very long time, as such can’t ever be ‘cured’ so need surgery.
Seriously!? WTF is wrong with some people?
Sick pervert a good flogging
It’s natural for anger to spring to mind for this sort of behaviour. This sort of outrageous behaviour has been going on for ages. This person needs help and should be given it . The mans family must be embarrassed . If nothing is done then this behaviour could lead to an attack. Then it gets serious. This could worryingly involve children. This person must be taken off the streets and only returned when professionaly assessed and deemed safe to return. Hopefully the woman he exposed himself to gets over this shocking incident.
With Prince Andrew as his role model…lets hope he gets justice too!!!
The appropriate response is always “Airing it won’t get the wrinkles out.” Or if particularly annoyed, “You couldn’t **** a polo mint with that.”
Whilst humour is easy when sat in your safe home, in real life such events are shocking for a female alone to have to witness.
How would YOU like it, if it were a massive gay guy, who could easily over power you and do terrible things to you? Doubt you would just joke to him, and risk winding him up and making you even more in danger.
Imagine the shame if that man had then violated you, when your wife wanted attention, you would feel dirty, and could then have aids, or other vile diseases. IF you reported such an attack all the world would know, and you would be ashamed even though it was not your fault.
Such is only a short step away from someone who is prepared to expose their gens in public, as they know that is illegal, so if not punished will go on to the next stage.
My initial post had a lot of support yet was removed, but posts as your making light of a very serious situation remain.
Likely showing just ‘what’ is wrong with the modern P.C world we are forced to not live in, but to exist in. With no back up from the courts, and the media afraid to allow anything deemed too harsh, which once would have been a ‘normal reaction.’ Now it is all about how can we help the aggressor and stuff the victim.
A change I might be able to ‘accept’ IF people were becoming more pleasant and IF crime and anti social behaviour was dropping, but people are far worse and the latter two are spiralling out of control, through listening and acting on the P.C idiots, of whom most are not having to live with the risk of such as their wealth isolates them from the dregs of society that others have to endure.
Totally agree with you when comments on this are supposed to be humorous made by mindless morons. If the woman had been their mother,wife,sister of one of their children would they still post childish comment . Doubt it. My first reaction would to beat the crap out the flasher. But in virtually all cases it doesn’t stop them. They need serious help. Like I previously posted take the person off the street and never let them back until a professional body assess them.
Hi gungadin. You’re about as funny as a bad case of diarrhoea. No place on this site for moronic humour. You’re probably a lonely person surrounded and kept company by your inflated ego. Hope you have the same so called humour if it happens to one of your family ( god forbid)
Is your name Richard cranium? Who said it hasn’t happened to a member of my family – self promoting idiot of presumption.
Hi believe or not you would have my full sympathy if it has happened to a member of your family. If it has then I truly don’t understand why you would make a joke of it happening to this woman. Richard cranium? If you can read my name is posted as YIGAF. I’ll give you a clue that each letter is the first letter of a word. Chill out as stress is one of the biggest killers. Be let’s try and keep to this uncalled for shock to this unfortunate woman. I reiterate that the flasher needs help and taken off the street for his sake as well as others.Try and have a nice day.
I feel sorry for your illnesses.
Last reply for you . 2 questions – what do you want to be when you grow up and have you finished reading spot the dog yet? Nearly your bedtime and don’t forget to brush your teeth before you get tucked in. Hopefully you won’t have to leave the light on. Night night.
Wind it in Zoltan, simpleton.
So you’ve instantly made the assumption that if man were to ‘flash’ another man they would be of gay? Isn’t that somewhat homophobic?
My ‘point’ was, for lady, whom are ‘usually’ physically at a disadvantage to ‘most’ men if an attack followed the posters ‘suggestion’ of making ‘fun’ of the flashing, it would not be the best course of action to take.
The poster I was replying to, I ‘guess’ is male, and I was making the point that if some large man, was to flash to him, then it would be most frightening if you felt physically the underdog to someone clearly stronger, and would ‘he’ be so brave to make a joke at that time.
IF the man then did do a vile ‘act’ upon or in his body, this to ‘me’ would mean the attacker would be gay, or badly needed a visit to spec savers.
I suggest YOU are just a politically correct, nit picking, pompous cretin, of whom the likes of, are almost a large a problem to society as those who you purport to ‘defend’.
I am so offended by your harsh accusations I likely won’t be able to ever post again.
So the comments never got turned off for this individual but they did for the air ambulance pervert think this is called protect the NHS
What happened to innocent before being proved guilty. Although an unpleasant and disturbing experience for the Lady, there is a period of time between the crime and the family going to look for the perpetrator. This is how miscarriage of justice happen. I just hope they got the right person.
Seems all the pitch fork welding folk here don’t care for the rule of law.
Can’t believe the over the top attitudes of some people here in the comments. When I was growing up, it was nothing *that* unusual to get stupid men exposing themselves to young females. One ugly fat old man on the beach made my friend laugh aloud when he exposed himself while leaning back against a wall, thankfully I never saw it.
Another time I was walking home one night with a girl I knew and just up the road from my house, a flasher exposed himself and asked if it was anything to do with us. I turned to look at the ‘friend’ I was with, but she was running away up the road, I then turned to look back at the flasher, but he was then running away in the other direction, so any passing police car at the time would have seen me standing there and two people running away from me in two different directions.. I never reported it as honestly, what was the point? And it was quite funny anyway.
Another time, I used to be harassed by some really horrible boy, kicking me when he stood behind me in post office queue, grabbing my breast when walking past me in street one day, he was really weird and nasty, but I never bothered to report him as he was only about thirteen when it started, but big for his age and I had problems from him for years.
One night some creep followed me and grabbed me, I turned round and shouted at him and was so angry I chased the b*st*rd, I did go to the police about him and gave a good description, and was in the police station practically all night and the police woman I dealt with was not exactly sympathetic, I think she couldn’t understand the fact that I wasn’t a pathetic screamer and told me I shouldn’t have chased him, but instinct took over and I was already stressed out by knowing he’d been following me and had had a bad day anyway so that was the final straw.
Anyway, in spite of reporting that incident, nothing ever came of it. That was years ago now, but today it seems everybody makes so much more fuss about things.
When I was a child in North London (60+ years ago) there was a man lived in our street who was well known for exposing himself to women and girls. He was often in court but seemed to return home regularly. We children named him Fred Bare and would hang about outside his house (playing in the street was the norm in those days) to see what happened! Nothing did thank goodness!
The far left bleeding heart liberals will always make excuses for the fetaristic uncontrollable hurges of perverts, it’s the way things are now….
Flasher today rapist tomorrow!!
