R v MC

13/11/2024

Kitan Ososami’s client was charged with exposure and outraging public decency. He was seen masturbating in a fire exit stairwell by one member of the public.

In an interview, he gave a prepared statement saying that he intentionally went to a quiet place out of public view and denied the elements of the offences.

In cross-examination, the complainant confirmed that he was the only person who saw Kitan’s client and that he was positioned in a way that only those on the stairwell would be able to see him.

Kitan made a successful half-time submission of no case to answer on the outraging public decency charge and, without giving evidence, he was acquitted of exposure.

Instructed by Rosie Worster and Marilyn White of Commons Law.
