Man who was caught flashing on a bus jailed for 14 months
A serial flasher is back behind bars after exposing himself in front of a teenage girl on a bus, just weeks after being arrested for leading police on a white-knuckle car chase.
Kyril McClean, 24, was sitting opposite the horrified teenager on a public-transport bus in Scarborough when he performed a lewd act.
The tawdry incident occurred on March 2 when McClean – who has two previous convictions for flashing – was on bail for serious driving offences committed a month earlier, York Crown Court heard.
On February 6, McClean took his grandmother’s Vauxhall Corsa without her consent, then sped through the streets of Scarborough with police in pursuit.
Prosecutor Martin Bosomworth said a female traffic officer spotted McClean on Scalby Road.
So dangerous was McClean’s driving that the officer abandoned the pursuit.
McClean was charged with dangerous driving, driving while disqualified and taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent. He was bailed, but a month later he pulled the flashing stunt on a bus carrying three or four passengers, including a “shocked” student sat opposite him.
McClean, formerly of North Lane, Cayton, appeared for sentence on Tuesday after admitting indecent exposure on the bus and the driving matters.
Judge Neil Davey QC handed McClean a 14-month jail sentence and 19-month driving ban.
