An Edinburgh pensioner who exposed himself to two women as they walked along one of the capital’s busiest streets has avoided being placed on the sex offenders register.
William Parkinson, 83, left the women “shocked and upset” when they spotted him walking along the city’s George Street with his penis visible through a hole in his trousers.
Parkinson, an RAF veteran, claimed he had ripped his trousers while out shopping for his wife but denied deliberately exposing himself to the women at around midday on September 1, 2020.
