Flasher claimed dog attacked him

9:50am Friday 9th March 2007

A SHOCKED dog walker came face-to-face with a flasher after her pet "attacked" him.

The woman was taking her three dogs for a walk in Spring Park, West Wickham, when she was confronted by 6ft 5in Soloman Odam.

One of the three Yorkshire terriers was suddenly alerted to Odam, who was wearing dark glasses, when he undid the belt on his raincoat and exposed himself.

Croydon Crown Court heard on March 7 how the dog jumped up at Odam, who kicked it before walking off into Woodland Way.

He was pursued by the woman who called police on her mobile.

Odam, aged 37, from New Addington, denied indecent exposure and claimed the dog had attacked him.

But the jury found him guilty of the offence at the re-trial.

It follows a trial last September when the jury could not agree on a verdict.

Odam was released on bail until April 18 while reports will be prepared by the probation service and a psychiatrist.
