Wigan pensioner admits to performing a lewd act in front of horses and donkeys in a Chorley field

Preston magistrates heard that 69-year-old Martin Scott was seen exposing himself and performing a lewd act "towards the faces" of the livestock in a Chorley field visible to the public.

Scott, of Finch Mill Avenue, Appley Bridge, pleaded guilty to bizarre act when a charge of outraging public decency was put to him.

He had initially denied committing the offence, which took place on May 29 2021, but changed his plea before a trial started.

He was given a two-year conditional discharge and ordered to pay costs and a victim services surcharge totalling £172.
