Alleged flasher 'showed off stockings to woman'

A man has appeared in court accused of indecently exposing himself to a woman.

The man, who can't be named under new laws protecting alleged sex offenders, appeared before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse.

At his home on May 8, he's said to have stood naked from the waist down except for a pair of stockings, and asked: "Do you think this is acceptable?"

She answered "no", and he's alleged to have said "Would you like me to put my trousers back on?"

He denies the charge of exposure and was bailed until a pre-trial review hearing on December 9.
