Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people have been sentenced for street flashing as part of the statistics for exposure and voyeurism for each year since 2010.

Information on exposure offences held by the Ministry of Justice does not identify whether an offence involved ‘street flashing’, specifically.

The Ministry of Justice has published information on sentences for exposure offences, up to December 2020, available in the ‘Principal offence proceedings and outcomes by Home Office offence code data tool’, available here:

Use the ‘Offence code’ filter in the above data tool to select the following offence:

• 088/09 – Exposure (Contrary to section 66 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003)

Figures for the number of individuals sentenced will display in Row 34.
