- BY DANIEL BIRD

OUTCRY Flasher costume A RETAILER was slammed for selling a “dirty old man flasher” Halloween outfit.

The £24.99 kit by Jokers’ Masquerade features a long coat with a naked man’s body underneath.

Child sex abuse survivor Lisa Cybaniak, 44, from Abingdon, Oxon, said it made her “want to vomit”.

And domestic abuse surivivor Pauline Fynn, 51, who now runs charity The Believe Foundation, said the gear was “extremely tasteless and offensive”.

Pauline, of Kingston, South West London, added: “The manufactur­er gave no thought to the impact and triggers [ for] victims.”

Online retailer Jokers’ Masquerade hit the headlines earlier this week for offering a “Blade Gunner” outfit styled on Oscar Pistorius. The firm was contacted for comment.
