Serial Kettering, Corby and Northampton flasher jailed AGAIN after indecently exposing himself to two people in Burton Latimer

Matthew Lucs pleaded guilty to two offences at Northampton Magistrates Court today (June 18) and was sentenced to 54 weeks in prison.

Lucs, formerly of Corby and Kettering, had been sitting in his window in High Street Burton Latimer where he was indecently exposing himself.

The first incident was on Monday afternoon (June 15), he was seen by a different person flashing on Wednesday morning (June 17).

Detective Inspector Al Rooney said: “Indecent exposure can have a lasting impact on those who witness it and it is something we take extremely seriously, not least because this type of behaviour can escalate and lead to more serious offences.

“Lucs’ actions were repeated and entirely unacceptable and I welcome the sentence handed down by the court today. I hope the swift investigation and quick turnaround at court will reassure the community that we will act decisively to bring offenders like this to justice.

“I would like to thank the members of the public who came forward and reported these incidents to us. Their information enabled officers to act quickly and ensure this offender was brought to justice.”

Lucs was arrested and charged with two counts of indecent exposure, and after pleading guilty to both offences at Northampton Magistrates Court today (June 18), was sentenced to 54 weeks in prison.

In August 2025, Lucs was arrested for exposing his genitals in Kettering – he pleaded guilty to one count of indecent exposure and was sentenced to 64 weeks behind bars.

At the time, Lucs was on his last warning after being given a 12-month suspended sentence for using the Teleguard application and deleting his internet history in April 2025, in breach of a sexual harm prevention order imposed by the court in 2020.

Magistrates activated the sentence and gave him a further 12 weeks in prison, totalling 64 weeks behind bars. He was placed on the Sex Offenders Register for ten years.

The court also heard that Lucs has several previous convictions on his record including two indecent exposures in Northampton in 2022 – one directed at a member of the public and another at a police officer. He was given 40 weeks for those offences because he was already subject to a prison recall.

And back in 2010 while living in Corby and describing himself as a ‘naturist’, Lucs sent sexually-explicit text messages to children.

He pleaded guilty to requesting girls aged 12 and 13 and a boy aged 12 send images and videos of abuse to him.

Northampton Crown Court heard Lucs had a sexual interest in children and gave him four years in prison to be followed by a four-year supervision period. He was also banned from working with children for life.

He was already in custody when he was sentenced, after being convicted of indecent exposure offences in 2009. They related to flashing incidents in Long Croft Road, Corby.
