An arrest warrant has been issued for a flasher who failed to turn up for his sentencing hearing.

Myles Stimpson-Davis, 35, of Selby Close, Colchester, was due to appear at Suffolk Magistrates' Court on Thursday for sentence after previously being found guilty of exposure.

Stimpson-Davis denied exposing his genitals on July 23 this year in Debenham "intending that someone would see them and be caused alarm or distress".

However, he was found guilty at a magistrates' court trial and convicted of the offence on September 23.

A pre-sentence report was ordered by magistrates following his conviction.

However, Stimpson-Davis failed to show up to learn his fate on Thursday and magistrates issued an arrest warrant without bail.

A person convicted of indecent exposure will most likely receive a fine and community order rather than a prison sentence.

However, for repeat offenders or more serious cases, a prison sentence of up to two years can be imposed.
