AN ALLEGED flasher from Flintshire has been found not guilty because he did not have any pubic hair.

The man’s bald pubic area was the central piece of evidence in the trial of Matthew Smith, alleged to have dropped his shorts and exposed himself to a woman outside his home in Mold.

The woman told magistrates that she saw a lot of pubic hair.

But Smith pleaded not guilty and said she was clearly mistaken – because he did not have any.

Magistrates at Wrexham heard how Smith had said the same thing in his police interview.

Brian Cross, defending, told how police officers had actually examined him and later confirmed the claim.

Magistrates returned and found him not guilty of a charge of exposing his genitals outside his home at Maes y March in Mold on the morning of November 11

Smith, 30 was on bail at the time for two sets of public order offences involving neighbours.

He is awaiting sentence for those after pleading guilty.
