A YOUNG woman has issued a warning to others after a “disgusting” pervert exposed himself in broad daylight before propositioning her.

Sinead Mcshera, 20, was walking along an alleyway next to Magdalen Street, Colchester, while on her way to Tesco Express at 2.30pm on Saturday.

She said suddenly, a man started intently watching her and whistling in her direction, but Sinead decided to ignore him as opposed to rising to his provocation.

Undeterred, however, the sex attacker then indecently exposed himself before asking Sinead if she would like to have sex with him and making a string of offensive comments.

She said: “What actually goes through a lad’s head for them to think that is acceptable and what on earth makes him think a girl would even want that?

“This literally happened in broad daylight and it is disgusting.

“I honestly have not got any words for the guy that done this but he needs to grow up.”

The day after the shocking ordeal, which occurred near the Aldi supermarket, Sinead contacted Essex Police who are now said to be looking into the incident.

She has now urged young women in the area to remain vigilant.

She added situations like the one she experienced are becoming more of a problem.

“I am sort of glad it happened to me out of all people as I shrug that sort of stuff off but I know it could have been someone younger and a lot more innocent,” she said.

“When it happened I just turned straight around and told him to leave me alone and he then ran straight down the alleyway.

Gazette:

“It’s not the first time this has happened in the area and even my mum has been flashed in the past in the area.

“Girls, please be careful.”

The Gazette contact Essex Police for comment but they had not responded at the time of going to press.

Anyone with information should contact the police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
