Opposition MP on $200,000 bail as indecent exposure probe continues

Former Minister of Public Infrastructure, David Patterson, was on Wednesday arrested in relation to an allegation of “exposure of genitals”, an offence under the Sexual Offences Act.
Patterson, who was wanted by Police for questioning in relation to the incident, surrendered himself to the Police in the company of his lawyer.
The Police have said that on Wednesday, at the Police station, Patterson was told of the allegation made against him by a member of the public, and was promptly arrested.

As this allegation continues to be investigated, Patterson has been placed on $200,000 station bail, and has been ordered to report to the investigators today. The probe continues, and upon completion, the file will be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for legal advice.
