Serial flasher jailed after exposing himself to children again in Ayr
CHILDREN have been robbed of their innocence in Ayr by a pervert who has exposed himself AGAIN.
Gordon Brown, 59, flashed at the five youngsters on his home street – Thornyflat Road – in May.
The grandfather was added to the sex offenders registers in 2012 for exposing himself to kids when he was sentenced to unpaid work.
But his record did not stop him preying once more and he subjected children aged eight, nine, 10 and 11 to the terrifying ordeal.
He was jailed for two years at Ayr Sheriff Court last week.
He denied the charges against him but a jury found him guilty.
A mum-of-two of the victims, 32, said: “My nine-year-old daughter has been too scared to go out all summer.
“She is petrified. After it happened they all came home straight away but she was hyperventilating. She couldn’t speak.
“I feel so shocked – how could anyone do this to children?
“The last few months have been heartbreaking. He got a very light sentence the last time he appeared in court.”
The Advertiser reported how Brown exposed himself to a five-year-old and two 11-year-olds in 2012.
Sheriff Norman McFadyen sentenced the predator to two years in prison and he was placed on licence for a further two years following his release.
He was also added to the sex offenders register indefinitely and placed on a Sexual Offences Prevention Order for five years.
Furthermore he will not be allowed any unsupervised access to children under 16 and his internet use will be heavily curtailed.
Sheriff McFadyen told him: “You are a danger to children.”
