A pervert was caught exposing himself at a bus stop after taking a cocktail of drugs and alcohol on his birthday.

Serial flasher, Andrew Fearnley-Hill, was spotted by a passing police car "naked from the waist down" late at night on a busy street in Warrington.

The 52-year-old has now been convicted of a staggering 12th sexual offence following his latest act. Liverpool Crown Court heard on Monday (August 1) that the officers noticed him stood in a bus stop on Folly Lane, Bewsey, shortly before midnight.

He was holding his penis while his trousers and underwear were strewn on the pavement next to him. At the time, Fearnley-Hill was visible to motorists, pedestrians and the residents of nearby houses, reports the Liverpool Echo.

The court heard that police believed he was under the influence of alcohol as he was "slurring his words and smelled strongly intoxicated". The pervert was subsequently arrested and taken to hospital.

Fearnley-Hill, of Lovely Lane, has 17 previous convictions for 26 offences - including seven for exposure, three for outraging public decency and one for sexual assault. Jeremy Rawson, defending, said his client's latest flashing incident "came about because he had taken a cocktail of drugs and alcohol".

He has "no recollection" of the events. Fearnley-Hill, who appeared via video link to HMP Altcourse, was described as a "rather sad individual" who has no partner or children, whose parents have died and who has no contact with his siblings. Mr Rawson added: "It was his birthday, and he had had a lot to drink. He simply regressed to type unfortunately."

Fearnley-Hill admitted indecent exposure and was jailed for a year.
