A man allegedly exposed himself to children outside a shop on a main road. Merseyside Police confirmed it received a report that a man had exposed himself to three children aged between 10-11 near Kelly's Discount Booze on Liverpool Road in Huyton at around 3.30pm.

The force said the children ran into the shop in fear and the incident was later reported to police the same day. A 55-year-old man from Halewood has been arrested on suspicion of indecent exposure.

He has been taken into custody and will be interviewed. Neighbourhood Inspector Jen Murray said: "I would like to reassure the local community that we take incidents of this nature extremely seriously.

“This would have been a really upsetting incident for the children involved, who have been left shocked and distressed by the experience. Officers have acted swiftly to make an arrest and our investigation is progressing well.”

If you witnessed the incident or were in the area and may have dashcam footage or CCTV of the incident, please contact Merseyside Police on X @MerPolCC, Facebook ‘Merseyside Police Contact Centre’ or call 101 with reference 24000815924.

Halifax lawyer who died was accused of extorting explicit photos from troubled clients

But in August 2023, the young man shared a secret with the constable, whom he had come to trust. For about two years, he said, Sparks had also been extorting him, requesting explicit photos and videos in exchange for representing him in crimi
