A man convicted of exposing himself to two women at an Isle of Wight holiday park in 2022 has been back in court for breaching the terms of his Sex Offenders' Register requirement.
Andrew Collins, of High Street, Sandown, admitted one count of failing to comply with notification requirements, when he appeared before magistrates on May 3.
Collins, 58, was given a two year community order for an incident of indecent exposure in May 2022.
On that occasion, he intentionally exposed his genitals to two women at Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park.

As part of his conviction, he was added to the Sex Offenders' Register and given a requirement to sign on at a police station annually.
He was supposed to do so by August 17 last year, but he did not sign on until ten days later, Lauren Stone, prosecuting, said.
Defending, Nick Muir, said the failure was not deliberate and his client pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity.
He said Collins misunderstood the requirement and thought he had to sign on by the end of August, as opposed to a certain date.
Mr Muir said: "It was a mistake that happened a year ago and it won't happen again."
Court heard that Collins is complying with probation and his supervision is going well.
Magistrates agreed that it was a "one-off oversight" on Collins' part.
They ordered him to pay a fine, costs and a surcharge, totalling £225.
