Penalty for being nude at home
A 46-year-old Longridge man who indecently exposed himself in a window of his home has been given a conditional discharge.
Blackburn magistrates heard that Peter Thompson was twice seen by a neighbour and on the second occasion she was with her partner who also saw him totally naked.
Thompson, of Preston Road, pleaded not guilty to two charges of indecently exposing himself but was convicted after a trial.
He was given a conditional discharge for two years and ordered to pay 200 compensation and 400 costs.
Because the level of sentence was below a community order Thompson does not have to sign the Sex Offenders' Register.
Richard Prew, defending, said his client's argument at trial had been that he had not intended anyone to see what he was doing.
"The risk of him re-offending is very low."
