I.T. Man Flashes Schoolgirls


A Derby IT specialist, who flashed at City of London schoolgirls three days in a row leaving them “shocked, disgusted and disturbed,” was placed under probation supervision by the Old Bailey today (Friday).

Peter Binks, 45, of Church Lane, Darley Abbey, was on a short-term work contract in the Square Mile when he flashed the girl’s aged 11-15 years.

He had pleaded guilty at City of London Magistrates’ Court to intentionally exposing his genitals, intending that someone would be caused alarm or distress, near City of London Girls School, Barbican, on December 9, 10 and 11, last year, contrary to the Sexual Offences Act.

The magistrates’ deemed their sentencing powers of up to six months’ imprisonment as insufficient so committed Binks (pictured) to the Central Criminal Court.

He received a three-year community sentence and was ordered to attend appointments as directed by the supervising officer.

The court heard bespectacled first-time offender Binks was seen by the girl’s exposing his genitals as they walked to school for two days in a row before his arrest.

Some of the schoolgirls gave video interviews to police in which they said they were “shocked, disgusted and disturbed.”

On the third day police were called and officers spotted Binks holding a laptop computer bag in front of him with his hand suspiciously moving vigorously behind it.
