'I was the 8th woman he had attacked' Zoe Beaty says she felt ignored when she reported a flasher - but later learnt the man was a serial offender
By Larissa Kennelly and Hannah PriceWayne Couzens was this week sentenced for three counts of indecent exposure - the last of which was committed just four days before he kidnapped, raped and murdered Sarah Everard. The case has brought renewed attention to the crime of indecent exposure and how the police investigate it.
"I was really shocked by his attitude. He immediately said: 'You know, it's not that bad, is it, in the grand scheme of things? It could have been worse'. And I sort of thought, 'yeah, I think that's the point'.""I think he probably saw the look on my face, and tried to justify his response by saying, 'well, you know, you look like the sort of woman who would knock someone out if they tried anything anyway'.
But a day after giving her statement, Zoe was visited by a detective at work. The force had indeed identified the man who exposed himself to her as Aaron Black - and they wanted to take a formal statement from her. Aaron Black was found guilty of committing eight counts of outraging public decency, six counts of exposure and one count of sexual assault in May 2017. He was jailed for two and a half years.
