Suleman Hussain

Suleman Hussain, a 32-year-old man from Worcester, was convicted in absentia of four counts of outraging public decency by exposing his genitals in public locations within the city.

The offences occurred on 29 June 2023, when Hussain exposed himself three times in Worcester, and again on 2 September 2023. He failed to attend his trial at Worcester Magistrates' Court in September 2023, leading to a guilty verdict in his absence. Court records list his address as Foregate Street, Worcester.

Hussain was scheduled for sentencing at Kidderminster Magistrates' Court on 17 November 2023. However, his defence representative, Sam Lansdale, informed the court that Hussain was too unwell to attend, citing diarrhoea and his current status as street homeless after losing his tenancy. Lansdale explained the difficulties Hussain faced in travelling from Worcester to Kidderminster by train, carrying all his belongings, and requested an adjournment along with a transfer of the case to Worcester Magistrates' Court for convenience.

The magistrates declined the transfer but granted a seven-day adjournment. Hussain is now required to appear at Kidderminster Magistrates' Court on 24 November 2023 for sentencing. The case was reported by Leda Reynolds, Court and Crime Reporter for Worcester News, highlighting the chaotic circumstances surrounding Hussain's situation.
