Director flashed at teenage girls

A company director who flashed at two girls and secretly filmed a woman using his bathroom has been given a three-year community order.

Michael Willshire, 48, exposed himself to the teenage girls, aged 16 and 17, in a Dorset alleyway.

One of the girls rang her father, who eventually caught Willshire after the incident in Swanage on 19 August 2006.

Earlier, at Bournemouth Crown Court, Willshire admitted exposure, voyeurism and theft.

It must have caused a great deal of anguish, distress and probably fright Judge Roger Jarvis

Willshire, who manages aluminium products firm Alform Extrusions in Holton Heath Trading Park in Dorset, was dressed in women's clothing when he exposed himself to the girls.

He was caught by the victim's father as he ran back to his Audi car and was detained until the police arrived, the court heard.

Mark Ashley, prosecuting, said: "[The girls] noticed him because he was wearing women's clothing, a white skirt, short sleeved top, white dancing shoes, a blonde wig and he was carrying a shoulder bag."

When police searched Willshire's home in Swanage the following day, they discovered three ladies' wigs, a handbag, false breasts, other items of ladies' clothing, and video cassettes that were kept in a safe.

Girls 'frightened'

The videos showed recordings of a naked woman he had secretly filmed using his bathroom and later watched for sexual pleasure.

Judge Roger Jarvis ordered three more counts of exposure to lie on file, before handing down the community order, which has a supervision requirement.

He told Willshire he will have to attend the Thames Valley Sex Offender Group Work Programme and placed him on the sex offenders' register for five years.

He said: "It must have caused a great deal of anguish, distress and probably fright to the two young women who were involved in the incident of exposure."
