A Heads Up For Manchester Females, & Police Advice Sought

Apparently, on Oxford Street in Manchester there's a guy who offers to take women's pictures, and then offers to show them his 'work' on his phone, which turns out to be porn pictures of women. A friend had it happen to her and said it made her feel rubbish.

Is there anything he could be charged with?

In reply to Timmd:

Possibly public nuisance. I would certainly get them to report it to Greater Manchester Police.

In reply to off-duty:
Thanks, I'll pass on that he can possibly be charged with public nuisance.

It seems he's been doing it a while and a few other females she knows have encountered him, which rather makes me think they should crowd him in the street an take his phone and stamp on it (!).

I'll try and get the others she knows of to report him as well.

Interesting reading about how women end up in unpleasant situations through politeness..

Obviously he feels empowered by his actions.it must make him feel very manly and dominant. What he really needs is a woman with a load of male porno pics on her phone so when he starts showing her she can feminise him with pictures of far superior specimens of men.

Maybe he needs introducing to Mrs Goucho or failing that Mrs Num Num...

Not sure, but I would certainly report it to the Police in case they can think of a suitable charge (or at least go and tell him to just pack it in).

They might perhaps try to check his phone, if there are any of apparently underage girls that would be an opportunity to get him...

My first thought on reading the OP was "I wonder how Mrs Num Num would deal with this..."

Joking aside, I can imagine it being potentially unpleasant. Mrs TC is probably hard enough to just call him a tw&t and walk away, but other women? Don't know.

Is this the modern day equivalent of the old flasher in a rain coat?
