A FLASHER who exposed his genitals in public has been jailed for two weeks.
Colchester Magistrates’ Court heard residents were “distressed” when Duncan Ford, of no fixed abode, committed the crime.
Ford, 56, admitted outraging public decency when he appeared at court in relation to the incident which took place on September 2 in Colchester.
A magistrates report reads: “[The] offence is so serious because distress was caused to members of the public.”
Ford was jailed for a fortnight and ordered to pay a £158 victim surcharge.
