A PERVERT exposed himself in front of a terrified 16 year old girl on her way home.

The incident happened between 2.15 and 2.30pm on Friday, March 26 after the girl got off the train at Rainhill station. As she turned into Mill Lane from View Road, a maroon-coloured R-registered Fiat Bravo drove past and pulled into the road. The girl noticed that the man had pulled his trousers down, exposing himself to her.

She described him as white, slim and short, aged between 20 and 25 and clean shaven with dark hair. He wore a navy blue top and jeans.

DS Tommy Wright of St Helens Police, told the Star: "We are aware that the incident is very similar to two others recently reported in the Thatto Heath area although we are keeping an open mind about this."
