A police officer is set to appear in court accused of three flashing offences.

Northamptonshire Police Sergeant Rhiryd Hughes will face three charges of indecent exposure and one of wilful misconduct in public office.

The 65-year-old, who lives in Towcester, is accused of intentionally exposing himself twice in Towcester in December 2018 and August 2019, and again on January 17, 2025 at Lea Gate Hotel in Preston, Lancashire.

He is further charged with, in August 2019, wilful misconduct in public office which amounted to an abuse of the public’s trust in him, by exposing his genitals to another police officer.

Hughes will appear before Leicestershire Magistrates’ Court tomorrow (Wednesday, September 2) at 10am.

He is suspended from active police duty while the court proceedings are under way.
