A Suffolk man has denied flashing schoolchildren in a "brightly-coloured thong".

Thomas Bigg, of Bakers Court, in Great Cornard, near Sudbury, is accused of exposing himself to children walking to school.

The court heard that children came across a man sometimes appearing naked and covering his genitals, sometimes wearing a thong.

Mr Bigg faced four separate charges of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child - three aged between 13 and 15, and one under 13.

All the offences allegedly took place in Sudbury, between January 2019 and November 2021.

Appearing in Suffolk Magistrates Court this morning, the 30-year-old pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Mr Bigg elected to go to trial at Ipswich Crown Court. He was released on unconditional bail to next appear on March 10.
