A SERIAL exposer has been jailed again after being caught naked while holding his genitals at a bus stop.

Andrew Fearnley-Hill was spotted by police on one of Warrington’s busiest roads, with one officer commenting that he appeared to be performing a sex act on himself.

The 52-year-old has a history of sex offending, with a long list of previous convictions for being naked in public.

He is now facing more time behind bars, with a judge stating that the more he offends, the longer he will spend locked up.

Fearnley-Hill appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Monday videolink from HM Prison Altcourse to be sentenced on a charge of exposure.

Joanne Cronshaw, prosecuting, explained how the offence occurred on July 2 this year, which happened to be the defendant’s birthday.

At around 11.30pm, two officers were returning to Warrington Police Station when they spotted him standing at a bus stop on Folly Lane while fully naked.

One of the officers said that he was holding his penis and appeared to have been performing a sex act on himself, with his pants and underwear on the floor beside him.

He was holding his genitals in full view of passing motorists, pedestrians and people living in homes opposite the bus stop.

After approaching him, officers remarked that he appeared to be under the influence of alcohol, was slurring his word and had empty beer cans beside him.

Ms Cronshaw revealed to the court that Fearnley-Hill has 17 previous convictions for 26 offences, 11 of which have been sex offences, including 10 for either exposure or outraging public decency and one for sexual assault.

Among his previous convictions are incidents of approaching lone females while naked and holding his penis.

He is currently in prison on recall having committed this latest offence while out on licence.

Defending his client, Jeremy Rawson said: “His strongest piece of mitigation is his guilty plea at magistrates’ court, and he also made admissions in his police interview.”

He explained that the defendant takes a ‘cocktail of drugs’ for a heart condition, which do not react well to alcohol.

Before sentencing, judge Gary Woodhall said: “An explanation can be deduced by way of your previous convictions – you are a serial offender for exposing yourself in public, with an established pattern of offending.

“None of the interventions have done anything to stop you from committing this sort of offence.

“I was never going to suspend the sentence in any event due to your previous convictions. You pose a high risk of sexual offending.

“I am satisfied that the offence is so serious that only a custodial sentence can be justified.”

Fearnley-Hill, of Lovely Lane, was sentenced to 12 months in prison.

On his release, he will be subject to sex offender registration requirements for 10 years and abide by post-sentence supervision for a further 12 months.

Before ending the hearing, judge Woodhall added: “You must understand that if you keep committing these offences, you simply will keep getting prison sentences.”
