Pervert targets four women in 90 minutes

A FLASHER admitted exposing himself to four people in four separate incidents in 90 minutes.

Oldham magistrates heard Anthony Wright (53), of Oldham Road, Grasscroft, flashed at a man and his wife and three other women July 12 in Springhead and Grasscroft.

Wright was driving a silver Volkswagen Passat, asking for directions to Uppermill - while wearing no trousers and performing sex acts on himself.

The first incident happened in the early afternoon in Huddersfield Road, when a woman walking her dog though Wright was driving alongside to ask for directions. She leaned in to help and realised he was exposed.

Twenty five minutes later he exposed himself to a man and his wife in Mossley Road, while he was parked. At 3.40pm Wright pulled alongside a woman and her friend on Platt Road, asking for directions - but was touching himself before they moved away. At 4pm asked for directions before exposing himself to another woman.

The court heard Wright, whose 16-year-old son is severely disabled, doesn’t have much time to socialise and rarely speaks to women. Wright, who may suffer from undiagnosed health problems, was remanded on bail until September 4 to be sentenced.
