Mrs Scrump saw this Facebook ad via a link on Mumsnet. Not sure if it is a fail, but it is very disturbing.
That completely proves the adage that just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. Great way to give your kids (and me) nightmares.
I had to read this post by North Yorks Police on their FB page a few times looking for the joke,
[b]Police in York are investigating a disturbing incident in which a fat naked man masturbated in front of a female student.
The incident occurred at 1.15pm on Sunday (19 November 2018) as the 20-year-old woman was walking alone on Windmill Lane onto the woodland cycle path in the direction of Hull Road.
She was confronted by the man who stood in front of her. He was bare-chested and had his trousers pulled down around his ankles.
He then performed the sex act on himself. The man remained in the same location for around five minutes before making off.
The woman quickly walked away and reported the incident to the police.
Enquiries are ongoing to locate the man, including a trawl of CCTV covering the area.
Police patrols have been stepped up in the area to provide public reassurance while the investigation continues.
The suspect is described as white with a very pale complexion, aged between 35 and 45 years, around 5ft 10in tall with a fat build. He has very little chest or pubic hair, no obvious tattoos or scars, and he has what was described as a small penis with testicles that hang noticeably low.
Anyone with information that could assist the investigation is urged to call North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 1, and speak to the Force Control Room.
Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
Please quote reference 12180215684 when providing details about this incident.[/b]
I must say though, the lady did manage to give a very good description so must have hung around for the 5 mins he was reported to have been 'busy'

I’m struggling to believe the police would officially use the word “fat” multiple times as a descriptor and there is no reference to hair colour (head hair!)[b]Police in York are investigating a disturbing incident in which a fat naked man masturbated in front of a female student.

Red-faced police apologised after a "momentary lapse of judgement" led to them issuing an appeal with a very detailed description of a naked man's genitals.
Last night North Yorkshire Police posted an appeal on its website to find a man who performed a sexual act on himself in front of a female student, which included graphic descriptions of the suspect's genitals.
However, the post was later amended by police, following complaints from members of the public.
A spokesman for North Yorkshire Police, said: “On the evening of 19 November 2018, we posted an appeal on Facebook to help identify a suspect in the York area who performed a sexual act in public.
"The appeal included a description of the naked man, which we accept went into too much detail. "This has caused upset to a number of people who read the appeal and we unreservedly apologise for any offence caused."
The police confirmed that they received several adverse comments on social media as well as two formal complaints in writing.
They said: "The appeal was quickly removed and a more appropriately worded version posted on the force website.
"We have spoken to the member of staff. The appeal was made with good intent and was a momentary lapse of judgement."
"We use social media every day to appeal for information, and to warn and inform members of the public. As always, we thank all our followers for their support in sharing our appeals, it is very much appreciated.”
