A MAN has pleaded guilty to seven counts of indecent exposure which took place over the last few weeks.

Neil Adlem, a 42-year-old agency worker, of The Close, Ashford, admitted the offences at Ashford magistrates' court on Tuesday after a month-long police effort to catch him.

Police say Mr Adlem was arrested for exposure on Friday when a police officer witnessed him naked in bushes in the Knoll Lane area of the town. He admitted, and was later charged with, seven other offences in police interviews.

He pleaded guilty on his first appearance in court and was bailed pending the preparation of pre-sentence reports.
