A suspected serial flasher is set to appear in court this morning charged with seven sex offences.

Ionel Arsenii, 25, is accused of assaulting women and exposing himself in Rainham and Gillingham.

He was arrested on Tuesday evening and was charged yesterday and remanded in custody to appear at Medway Magistrates' Court this morning.

Arsenii, of Wakeley Road in Rainham, is accused of:

• Sexually assaulting a woman in Scott Avenue, Rainham on May 25.
• The attempted sexual assault of a woman in Pembury Way, Gillingham on May 23.
• Sexually assaulting a woman in Saxton Street, Gillingham on May 19.
• Sexually assaulting a woman in Station Road, Gillingham on March 14.
• Indecent exposure in Wakeley Road, Rainham on April 25.
• Indecent exposure in Station Road, Rainham on April 25.
• Indecent exposure in The Old Orchard, Rainham on March 14.

Police previously released an e-fit and gave details of 20 offences being linked to one man.

He was described as 5ft 5in, of medium build and was often wearing a camouflaged or dark coloured hoodie with tracksuit bottoms.

Arsenii's arrest is linked to that investigation, however the most recent three charges relate to incidents after police launched their appeal.

Kent Police has been asked how many offences are now being investigated.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Nicola Lincoln previously said: "There are recurring themes across these reports and we believe they are linked to this one offender.

"We have already carried out numerous enquiries, including analysing CCTV and taking forensic samples, and are now in a position to issue a computer-generated image that has been created with the assistance of a victim.

"I would encourage anyone who recognises the man to contact us on 01634 792209 quoting 46/79817/19.

"There are recurring themes across these reports and we believe they are linked to this one offender."

"Alternatively contact Crimestoppers in Kent, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

"I would also ask members of the public to remain vigilant and to call us on 999 if they believe a crime is in progress."
