SAM ROBINS EXPOSES HIMSELF TO TEENAGE GIRLS IN SOUTHFLEET NEAR DARTFORD
In a disturbing incident that took place in Southfleet near Dartford, a 31-year-old man identified as Sam Peter Robins was found guilty of indecent exposure after he exposed himself to four teenage schoolgirls.The incident occurred in the early morning hours, specifically around 9am on June 13, when the girls noticed Robins sitting in his parked Alfa Romeo vehicle on Pelham Road, Gravesend.
According to court reports, the four girls observed Robins in his car and were able to note his vehicle's registration number.
They provided a detailed description of the man and his clothing to authorities.
The police subsequently seized clothing matching the description from Robins, and the victims later identified him through video footage, confirming his involvement in the incident.
Initially, Robins claimed that he was merely stopping to use his phone when the girls saw him.
However, during the course of legal proceedings, he admitted to the charge of indecent exposure, acknowledging his guilt.
His admission came after an earlier hearing where he pleaded guilty to the offence.
Robins, who resides on Weavers Orchard, Hook Green Road, Southfleet, near Dartford, appeared before Dartford magistrates for sentencing.
His defense lawyer, Michael Jenkins, highlighted that Robins had entered an early guilty plea and expressed remorse for his actions.
Jenkins also mentioned that Robins was willing to undertake as many hours of unpaid community service as possible to make amends and put the matter behind him.
During the hearing, the court was informed that Robins is a married man whose wife is expecting twins.
The defense lawyer noted that the incident has had some impact on their marriage but that Robins’s wife remains supportive and aware of what transpired.
Judge James Colwell, presiding over the case, addressed Robins directly, stating, “This was rather nasty and we hope you have thought about it and think about the impact you have had on these girls.” As part of his sentence, Robins was ordered to complete 200 hours of unpaid community service and was given a community order for a period of 12 months.
The court’s decision reflects the seriousness with which such offences are regarded, especially when they involve vulnerable minors in the community.
