A SERIAL sex-pest is being hunted after a man exposed himself to a schoolgirl and two women.

A 15 year old girl walking home from school near to Beaulieu Road, Fareham, reported that a man had exposed himself and behaved inappropriately, the girl was unharmed, but left scared and shaken by the incident.

A short while later, at about 4.00pm, a 48-year-old woman reported that a man had exposed himself to her as she was walking her two dogs along Wallington Shore Road.

A report of a similar incident was reported by an 18-year-old woman two days earlier at about 1.15pm. This took place in The Gillies in Fareham.

The man is described as white, tall in height, in his late 20s with darkish stubble, he was wearing a dark coloured hoodie with the hood up and dark trainers with a light stripe on them.

DS Doug Utting said: “These reports are very similar, particularly the description of the man involved and the close vicinity in which they occurred.

“I would urge anyone who may have any information which could help us identify the man involved to contact us.

"While the exact circumstances are investigated, police are asking the public to remain alert, but not alarmed; advising parents and schools to remind their children of the stranger danger message, and to report any incidents to us as soon as possible.”

The incidents involving the 15-year-old and the 48-year-old happened on January 7. The occasion with the 18-year-old was on January 5, but details have only now been released.
