A Calne businessman who exposed his genitals to four women in separate incidents across Wiltshire has avoided prison.
Craig Beaven, 48, of Braemor Road, was handed a 11-month community order at Swindon Magistrates’ Court on 4 November.
He must complete 150 hours of unpaid work after being convicted of four counts of exposure following a trial in September.
Beaven, who owns exterior cleaning company Surface Clean UK Limited, was also ordered to pay £650 in prosecution costs and a £114 surcharge.
The offences took place between August 2023 and August 2025, with two incidents occurring at Toolstation in Devizes.
On 20 August 2025, Beaven intentionally exposed his penis in view of a woman at the store, intending to cause alarm or distress.
He had exposed himself to another woman at the same premises on 5 June 2025.
Two further flashing incidents took place in Calne, one between 31 August and 1 October 2023 and another on 31 May 2024.
Beaven denied all four charges at an earlier hearing on 6 May, but was found guilty following a trial at Swindon Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday 15 September.
Victims of sexual offences have the right to lifelong anonymity. It is a criminal offence to publish information likely to identify them.
