When Sarah Everard was killed, we learnt Couzens had exposed himself, twice, days before he murdered her.
I was recently involved in a case where a man dropped his swim shorts while I swam towards him.
Despite CCTV, he said he didn't mean to "cause offence". Case dropped!
1/

I was offended.
Because of the MANY failings that I have seen around this offence & other offences, & because of what happened to Sarah, I'm doing my bit to raise awareness for the #VAWG movement to help protect children &women from predators.

I've come to the conclusion that the only way critical change will happen to our laws - regarding sexual offenders - is if one of our ‘notable’ leaders becomes affected by #CSA or #VAWG
We can’t wait until the next Sarah Everard for the next big conversation to happen on this.

I am never sure petitions work, but at the very least I believe they raise awareness, so because of this I've launched my petition to "make indecent exposure an offence", regardless of intent. It should be classed as a sexual offence. No-one should expose themselves in public
4/

places, and in the event that they do so, they should not be able to claim they weren't intending to cause offence. We believe the current law provides too much leeway.
The Government must amend this offence so that exposing yourself in public places is an offence, and at no
5/

point can there be any grey areas on this. I believe this must be taken seriously, with changes to legislation to broaden this offence, so that there is no ambiguity as to whether an offence has been committed.
If you feel strongly about this conversation then please do

sign petition & share with anyone you think would benefit from a change in this current law.
