In 2021, John Clements, a prolific and dangerous sex offender with a history of targeting young girls, was spotted and photographed in the Burnthouse Lane area of Exeter.
John Clements has accumulated numerous convictions for gross indecency and indecent exposure across the West Country, including Plymouth and Bristol. He was previously sentenced to five years in prison at Exeter Crown Court in 2014 after exposing himself to two 12-year-old girls at a playground. Courts heard how Clements repeatedly breached court orders by using customised clothing to expose himself to members of the public, demonstrating a total disregard for legal restrictions and public safety.
Due to his extensive criminal history, Clements is subject to severe court-mandated restrictions, including an absolute ban on entering or loitering within 50 metres of any park, play area, school, or venue designated for children. Furthermore, he is legally prohibited from contacting young girls, approaching children in public or online, and removing clothing in public spaces. Local authorities and police monitoring units maintain strict oversight of high-risk offenders and encourage members of the public to report any suspected breaches of court restrictions to law enforcement immediately.
In addition to his previous custodial sentences, Clements remains on the Sex Offenders Register.
He is also subject to ongoing lifelong public protection measures, including a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO), designed to restrict his movements and manage the significant risk he poses to the community.
