A married pensioner flashed his genitals at a woman as she walked down a Tyneside street.
Sidney Hulme, who has a previous conviction for similar offending, was on his first trip out alone after shielding with his wife during the Covid-19 lockdowns when he exposed himself to a female in Wallsend, North Tyneside. A court heard that the victim spotted the 78-year-old and noticed he had his penis hanging over the top of his trousers as he walked towards her.
Prosecutors claim the woman saw the pensioner apparently performing a sex act at the same time, which he denies. The horrified victim then dashed into a nearby florist and phoned the police, who arrived at the scene and spoke to Hulme.
