Hopefully no one on PH condones this kind of behaviour?

Well , a thread a while back where someone's teenage son had been caught sending pics of himself to young teenage girls got plenty of "boys will be boys" type commentary, so I wouldn't bet against it.

That was a bit different IIRC, an immature teenage boy the same age as the victim, IIRC, not a 39 year old paedo in his fully fledged adult life.

That is not a defence of anyone, before anyone tries to go down that road, but clearly not comparing apples with apples.

I don't think there will be anyone defending this scumbag, no matter how much some people are eagerly anticipating it.

Wasn't there a thread about someone in the forces exposing themselves to a barmaid? That had plenty of 'boys will be boys' comments iirc.

66 weeks though seems a very long time when compared to physical sexual assaults on people of a similar age.

Not when he's got previous form for similar and was already on the register.

An RAF officer I believe.

Probably would have paid for me to read the article then laugh

And the Metaverse thing - where the answer was to lock your children up and not allow them to do anything online.

Sounds like the right thing was done, the sentence, not the flashing bit.

Its weird it says "The woman took screenshots of the WhatsApp image sent on 9 February and reported it to police the same day." and that she is 15 ?

I remember "flashers" in comedy programs as a kid, bloke in a mac with nothing underneath jumps out of the bushes and opens his mac to passing ladies whilst making inappropriate noises, it was always a sort of comedic device and seen as funny but its not, does that old school flasher still exist or is it all via the internet now ?

Us chaps really need to understand, that by and large nobody wants to see our junk unless its as part of a relationship (occasionally) or a (relevant) GP visit

Oh yes that one.

Those poor men had been shot at.

What did the bar staff expect.

Not even joking.

Actual old school flashing still happens but not that often but dick pics is pretty common, especially within online dating, women have been been known to ask to see what you're packing before meeting...... it's the unsolicited pics that are the problem and that's what the law is there for,for pervs like this bloke

"Hawkes was already a registered sex offender after he was given a community order last year for exposure and sexual activity with a child under 16. That registration ran until November 2033."

I expect a lot of girls and women will have experienced similar behaviour.

Some shocking reports out here.

It wasn’t though, that’s just what you tried to make it.

I was going to say I have never sent a dick pick, but the other day the wife asked me what I am doing, was checking for a water leak in my car boot using a handheld endoscopic camera.

I said “there, got it, here have a look”, but the end was not in the boot anymore smile

She just said something about there being a tiny slug in there as well as all that dampness….
