Macclesfield's most prolific flasher who exposed himself to five women and asked a schoolgirl to engage in a sexual act has been jailed.
Serial sex offender Christopher Tomas William Wilkinson, 23, was said to have ‘uncontrollable urges’ and flashed five woman for his ‘own gratification’.
He left his victims scared and traumatised and evaded capture for four months after his first offence.
But Wilkinson has now been sent to prison for an indeterminate sentence, facing at least two years behind bars and a ban from working with children for life.
Sentencing Wilkinson at Chester Crown Court, Judge Roger Dutton said the defendant showed ‘little, if any, remorse’ and had terrified his victims.
He agreed with a pre-sentence report which said Wilkinson’s sexual urges were uncontrollable, which meant he ‘posed a very high risk of serious harm to women of all ages’.
Wilkinson, of Heyes Farm Road, Broken Cross, pleaded guilty to five offences of exposure and one count of inciting an under 13 to engage in sexual activity.
The offences were all committed between July and October 2009 against female victims who were all strangers to Wilkinson.
But after an extensive operation by detectives he was caught and charged in early October.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Lyndsey Kilburn said after the hearing: "The offences committed by Wilkinson caused a great deal of lasting distress to the victims involved, and I hope his conviction provides reassurance to the local community.
"I would like to thank the victims and witnesses in the case for their co-operation, and would like to pay tribute to their courage in providing evidence."
Wilkinson received an indeterminate prison sentence and must serve a minimum of two years. He will only be released when a parole board is satisfied he is not a threat.
And when released Wilkinson will be subject to a sexual offences prevention order and banned from working with children for life.
Detective Inspector Christine Hemingway, boss of the Eastern Area Police Public Protection Unit, added: "It is testament to the hard work of officers, and effective use of policing resources that Wilkinson has been brought to justice
