The alleged incidents occurred between January and May 2025 when a man was reported to be exposing himself to people passing at Sweet Briar Marshes in Norwich and on the Tiffey Valley Trail at Wymondham.

Ragini, of Harmer Road in Norwich, spoke only to confirm his name, age and address when he appeared at Norwich Magistrates’ Court charged with eight counts of indecent exposure.

The charges were not put to him after the court was told further investigations into the allegations had been undertaken.

District Judge Matthew Bone adjourned his case until May 19 to allow him to be provided with any new evidence and to obtain legal advice.

The court was told he had intended to dispute the claims arguing mistaken identity but that new evidence included geo-location data obtained from his phone.

Police initially arrested Ragini on June 9 last year on suspicion of four counts of exposure in Wymondham.

He was further arrested on July 31 on suspicion of another three counts of exposure in Norwich.

Sweet Briar Marshes is an area of wetlands featuring popular footpaths and cycleways off Marriott’s Way between Sloughbottom Park and Hellesdon Road.

The Tiffey Valley Trial is a designated scenic footpath that runs along the banks of the River Tiffey from Wymondham train station to Kimberley Hall, the grounds of which were designed by Capability Brown.

Ragini was given bail with conditions banning him from entering Wymondham, Sweet Briar Marshes and Marriott’s Way.

He has also been ordered to surrender his passport to prevent him from leaving the UK before his next hearing.
