A man flashed at schoolgirls as they walked to their mosque, a court heard.

Farman Saeed exposed his genitals to the horrified 14-year-olds as they headed to the Abu Bkr Mosque near to his Paddock home.

The 31-year-old pleaded guilty to three charges of exposure when he appeared before Kirklees Magistrates’ Court.

He was warned that custody is an option when he is sentenced next month.

Vanessa Jones, prosecuting, said that the offences took place over an eight-month period.

She told the court that the offences were aggravated by the fact that they were witnessed by girls going to the mosque two doors away from Saeed’s home in Church Street.

Mrs Jones said: “One of the girls who gave a statement said that a few times going to the mosque she heard a banging at the window of his (Saeed’s) flat.

“She looked over to the window and saw that he was naked.

“He raised his leg up and she could see his genitals.”

Mrs Jones said that on another occasion the girl was walking past with a friend when again banging was heard coming from his flat.

This time the girls saw him stood at the front door without his clothes on.

On one day they witnessed him sat in the entrance of his property, cross-legged and completely naked.

Mrs Jones said that the girls were very embarrassed by what they witnessed.

Saeed’s solicitor Emily Price said that her client had a difficult and complicated history and a psychiatric report on him had previously been obtained.

District Judge Michael Fanning ordered a full report on Saeed before his sentencing on August 27.

He told him that he was not ruling out custody or committing him to crown court for sentence.

Because of his convictions Saeed has now been placed on the sex offenders’ register.
