Jail for Peterborough man who exposed himself to woman and young son

A man who exposed himself to a woman and her young son in Peterborough has been jailed.

Earl Allen, 51, exposed himself to the victims twice at about 5.10pm on 4 July last year in Orton Avenue, Woodston.

Allen was identified as the man responsible and arrested on 25 July.

He has now been placed on the sex offenders register, as well as being locked up for 28 weeks.

When he was arrested Allen said, “so I’m going to prison for having a p*** in the street.”

When the woman spoke to police she told them about the significant distress the incident had caused, particularly for her son who had “not been the same since”.

On Tuesday (June 27) at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court, Allen, of Charnwood Close, Stanground, Peterborough, admitted exposure and was jailed for 28 weeks.

This included consecutive terms of ten weeks for exposure, six weeks for breaching a Criminal Behaviour Order and 12 weeks following the activation of a suspended sentence.

He was also placed on the Sex Offenders Register for seven years.

DC Kate Jacklin, who investigated for Cambridgeshire Police, welcomed the sentence handed out to Allen.

DC Jacklin said: “Allen’s behaviour that day was disgusting. Despite his comments when he was arrested it is clear he intentionally exposed himself to a woman and her young son.

“I’m pleased he has now appeared in court and faced justice.”
