A woman on the dance floor of an Accrington town centre pub was shocked to see a man standing with his genitals exposed, a court has heard.

Blackburn Magistrates' Court was told that even when he was challenged by the woman and her friend, Yves Temples was not quick to pull his trousers up.

"The women said it was as if he didn't care," said Vaqas Yaqub, prosecuting.

Temples, 38, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to indecent exposure, outraging public decency and possession of cannabis.

He was jailed for eight weeks and ordered to re-register on the Sex Offender Register for seven years.

The magistrates declined to make a Sexual Harm Prevention Order as requested by the prosecution.

Mr Yaqub said the incident happened on September 16 in the Bees Knees pub in Blackburn Road, Accrington.

A woman was dancing with her friend when she noticed Temples standing near a window with his penis exposed.

"She drew her friend's attention to what he was doing and they confronted him and told him it was disgusting," said Mr Yaqub.

They alerted the door staff who, after viewing CCTV footage, detained Temples until the police arrived.

Mr Yaqub said Temples was convicted of outraging public decency in September 2020 and of indecent exposure in October of the same year.

Gareth Price, offering mitigation, said his client accepted his record would be viewed as an aggravating feature.

He said the conditions requested in the Sexual Harm Prevention Order were mostly existing criminal offences.

"I am concerned you are being asked to make an order which is already covered by criminal law," said Mr Price.
