A MAN dropped his trousers in front a group of boys at a pond as they enjoyed a fishing trip, a court heard yesterday.
Newcastle Crown Court heard that Brian Brough, 21, emerged from bushes at the pond, near Sunderland, and exposed himself as the boys were packing their fishing gear away.
Prosecutor Robert Woodcock told the court Brough offered them £20 to commit a sex act.
When Brough, of Weardale Crescent, Penshaw, Sunderland, was arrested, he admitted to police that he had exposed himself but denied that he had said anything to the boys.
He was placed on probation for two years after he pleaded guilty to two counts of indecency with a child
