The Royal Gibraltar Police have arrested Judge Charles Pitto, 62, for an alleged crime of indecent exposure for having shown his genitals in public, according to Gibraltar public television GBC.
Although the information was published this Thursday, the truth is that the alleged incident occurred a week ago and was arrested this Tuesday. According to police information, Judge Pitto is now free on bail.
For his part, the president of the Supreme Court, Anthony Dudley, issued a statement in which he acknowledged the arrest and added that “it would be inappropriate to comment further while the investigation is active.”
