The Home Office and police chiefs are to consider toughening their response to indecent exposure after a public inquiry into how Wayne Couzens was able to rape and murder Sarah Everard in 2021.
The home secretary, James Cleverly, said on Monday that he accepted the recommendations of a public inquiry into the case of Couzens, which last month called for “a fundamental review of the way masturbatory indecent exposure is treated within the criminal justice system” amid fears it is a precursor to physical assaults.
