Vile perv flashed boys, 4 and 6, in Morrisons when mum turned her back

A VILE perv who flashed two boys, aged 4 and 6, in Morrisons when their mum turned her back has left the youngsters traumatised. The man exposed himself to the two brothers in the supermarket in Leicester and even urged the four-year-old to keep quiet. 1 The shocking incident happened at a Morrisons Daily on March 26 when the boys' mother stopped at the store before dropping her sons at school. She then saw Joshua Yorke acting suspiciously and worried he might be a shoplifter. The concerned mum went to speak to a member of staff but noticed the creep walk past her four-year-old son and saw him "messing with his trousers" before walking on. She also saw Yorke put his fingers to his lips to indicate to the boy to stay quiet. When the boy's older brother joined him in the same aisle in the supermarket and Yorke turned around and exposed himself to both boys. Leicester Crown Court heard the siblings immediately became upset following the horror and told their mother what had happened. She began shouting at Yorke, kicking him after he ignored her and walked towards the exit to flee. After he left the shop, a passer-by volunteered to hunt Yorke down while the mum stayed with her traumatised sons. He followed the perv to a shopping centre and kept his eyes on him until police arrived and arrested him. Sex fiend who targeted boy, 8, in tent at Scots beauty spot was spotted fleeing scene by victim's horrified dad Yorke, who later pleaded guilty to committing an act outraging public decency, had no previous convictions. But prosecutor Naeem Valli said at the court hearing that Leicestershire Police had received three previous complaints about Yorke exposing himself to children, which had not yet resulted in any convictions. Mr Valli said the mother had since been struggling to explain to her confused and frightened sons why it had happened. In a victim statement, the heartbroken Mum said: "This had a profound effect on myself and my children. I've always tried to keep my children sheltered. "I pride myself on being a good mother and keeping my children safe. My children have been left terrified. "They have nightmares. My younger son has started mimicking the man, pulling his trousers down and telling people to shush. "I hope this man realises it has had a very real impact on my family and how we feel. I can't get over the fact I was not able to protect their innocence." Errol Ballantyne, representing Yorke, said his client had a mental age much younger than his 23 years. He said: "This is in many ways a sad case. If the authorities had been more proactive he might have been receiving help - he's a young man with severe learning difficulties. "The defendant's mother was an alcoholic and the defendant was a premature delivery and it was clear from birth there were difficulties. "Mr Yorke is thoroughly ashamed of what he did and is very remorseful. He would like support to control his urges towards underaged children." Recorder Jacob Hallam KC, sentencing Yorke, told him: "You went into that shop and encountered a mother and her two young children. "You were wearing your jacket with the hood up and you approached them and you fiddled with your trousers while close to them. "Their heads were around the level of your groin. Both of them were upset, particularly the younger one, and have continued to be upset since then. "This was a confusing and upsetting experience for them to have to endure." Yorke, of Bridlespur Way, Mowmacre Hill, was given an 18-month community order with 26 sessions of a course designed to rehabilitate sex offenders and a further 10 days on programmes recommended by the Probation Service. He will have to let the police know where he is living for the next five years and was also made subject to a three-year sexual harm prevention order, banning him from contact with children and making other restrictions.
