A senior judge from Wimbledon has denied two counts of flashing a woman on a commuter train.

Lord Justice Richards, one of the country's most senior judges and sits in the Court of Appeal, appeared before City of Westminster Magistrate's court yesterday charged with two counts of indecent exposure.

The married dad-of-three is alleged to have exposed himself to a woman on two separate occasions on a train between Wimbledon and Waterloo last October.

The 56-year-old, who was arrested in January by members of the British Transport Police, ruled on the case of Jean Charles de Menezes, the Brazilian shot dead by police who mistook him for a suicide bomber.

His trial will begin on June 11.
