Summary of Case:

"Robin Lewis was wrongly convicted in January 2007 of exposing himself to a woman during a golf tournament on May 3, 2006. He was fined £1,500. Lewis claimed he innocent, and after his conviction he obtained the CCTV video from the bank he was at on the day of the flashing, proving that is where he was at the time of the flashing.
