“I was a mere 13 years old when a disgusting specimen of human kind smiled at me, being polite I smiled back. This apparently was a license to follow me home despite my obvious distress, not only revealing his pathetic manhood but shall we say, stimulating himself en route. A neighbour watching out the window saw me come up the hill at some speed and thankfully witnessed said pervert trying several doors in his search for me. Fortunately, he didn't see where I disappeared to but I sincerely hope he met his match and suffered similar harrassment, intimidation and fear in his lifes journey.
I'm a fairly easy going person, a staunch feminist, however this sort of gutless, threatening and mysoginistic behaviour makes me feel I'd welcome a helping slap round the ******s face from a Knight in shining armour. It's a feckin' nasty experience!”

“I remember when I was about 10 years old in the late 50's, a friend and I, who was about the same age, were accosted by a male asking us for a suitable spot to urinate. We showed him where to go, and he asked us to stand next to him so he would not be self conscious. This we did, being totally unaware of what was going on. When I told my parents they called the police, who said the pervert had offended in a similar manner before. I don't know what became of it in the end, but the thing I remember is that he did actually wear a dirty raincoat.”

“Yes Teabag Tel. George Street every Friday & Saturday night, or whenever there's a BOGOF offer or in those stretched limos (always the fat one) or...
You're correct jezer, It isn't a laughing matter. Not my sort of thing, but the way the law is employed with bias is clear sexual discrimination. AFAIA, the written law is gender specific by stating "he".”

“This is not a laughing matter. These perverts have always been around, and I fear they will continue with their discusting practice.”

“My Nan and her friend were flashed at on a Train to Bath, years ago, by a bloke in a proper old "flashers mac". My Nan had a stroke right there and then. Unfortunately though, her friend wasn't quick enough.”
