A 22-year-old Havant Sex Offender, Tommy John Back, has been incarcerated for 21 months as a result of engaging in two instances of indecent exposure in Southsea, as well as a dubious occurrence in Havant.
Tommy John Back, on Thursday, 29 February, pursued a 15-year-old girl and approached her on Pleasant Road at approximately 3.20 pm. He had a brief conversation with her before revealing his genitals. She was unharmed and departed.
At approximately 6 pm on the same day, a 30-year-old lady waiting for a bus on Goldsmith Avenue was approached by Tommy John Back who indecently exposed himself before departing. She sustained no physical injuries.
On Tuesday, 5 March, it is suspected that an individual pursued a 15-year-old female near Prospect Way in Havant. She sustained no physical injuries.
Tommy John Back (22), residing at Rooksbury Croft in Havant, was arrested and accused after a comprehensive investigation that involved public appeals.
- Four offences of exposure.
- Two offences of voyeurism.
- Three offences of making an indecent image of a child.
- Possession of an extreme pornographic image.
- Using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour to cause harassment, alarm, or distress.
On Thursday, 22 August, at Portsmouth Crown Court, he received a 21-month prison sentence after confessing to exposure and other charges during a prior hearing.
An investigating officer from the District of Columbia, Dave Glover, expressed his severe worry about Back’s actions, emphasising that all accusations of indecent exposure are taken seriously. I am gratified that the court has acknowledged the threat he presented to the general public and has imposed a term that conveys a powerful message that such conduct will not be accepted.
