A MAN has denied exposing himself in a west Cumbrian village.

Antony Ireland, 36, of Heatherfields, Broughton Moor, Maryport, pleaded not guilty to a charge of exposure when he appeared at Workington Magistrates' Court today.

Ireland is accused of exposing his genitals, with the intention that someone would see them and be caused alarm or distress.

The offence is alleged to have taken place in Greysouthen on August 3 last year.

The case was sent to Carlisle Crown Court and will be heard on April 11.

Ireland has been granted unconditional bail.
