Flasher locked in toilet - now fined

A man who exposed himself to two women in a supermarket in canton Bern was locked in a toilet until the police arrived.

In July a 22-year-old man pulled his trousers down in front of the women in the ladies toilet. He was locked in a stall and held.

He’s now been sentenced to a CHF 3,000 suspended fine and ordered to pay CHF 2,000 in fines and costs. He’s also been given a three year probationary period.
