       The 49-year-old has been accused of four offences in January and February last year, and faces allegations he “intentionally exposed his genitals intending that someone would see them and be caused alarm and distress”.

       “The four alleged offences took place between January and February 2021.

       “He will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on April 13.”
