Pensioner, 71, exposed himself from his window to schoolgirls as bus stopped outside his home - but insists "I'm innocent"

A pervert pensioner stripped naked and stood at his window when a school bus dropped girls off outside his home, a court has heard. Thomas Beattie, 71, also showed girls a photograph of his penis on his mobile phone.

The former soldier denied the allegations but has now been convicted after a trial. During the trial the district judge was shown a photograph on a girl's phone which backed up the evidence against Beattie.

The LiverpoolECHO reports that Beattie was only charged over one day of exposure. However, District Judge Wendy Lloyd told him: “It was well known that you would be naked at the window at the time the school bus arrived.”
