Here is the latest on our friend, known as "the gimp"
2022
Is this the end of the line for the ‘Somerset gimp’?
For years, residents of a sleepy West Country town have been terrorised by a mysterious pervert known only as ‘the Somerset gimp’.
The latex-clad man has menaced locals in the villages of Yatton and Claverham in North Somerset
on at least 16 occasions since 2016, chasing individuals walking home alone at night whilst grunting.
But the gimp’s reign of terror may have finally come to an end following his latest sighting, which saw a man in his 30s arrested in the village of Cleeve following an encounter with a two teenagers on Friday night. One of the teens- a 19-year-old who asked not to be named- described the ‘freaky’ late-night encounter which saw him and a friend stumble upon the masked stranger ‘flopping on the floor, writhing and grunting’, in the early hours of the morning.
The witness said he initially thought the man, who was wearing blue latex gloves and was clad head-to-toe in a dark, mud-stained bodysuit, might have been drunk because of the way he was moving.
But as he approached the two teens, the man ‘took a step up on the pavement, arched his body and flopped to the ground, without putting his hands out to catch himself.’
‘His outfit was shiny with some sort of liquid and he was glistening in the torchlight and he smelt really earthy,’ the witness said.
‘After he had gone… you could still smell it,’ he added.

Man accused of being ‘Somerset gimp’ appears in court
A trial date has been set for a man accused of being the mysterious pervert known as the 'Somerset gimp'.
Joshua Hunt, 31, is accused of two counts of affray and one count each of possession of a bladed article and committing an act of outraging public decency.
The first affray charge and possession of a bladed article charge relates to an incident in Bleadon, near Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, on May 9.
The second affray charge relates to an incident in the same area on May 7, while the outraging public decency charge relates to an incident in Cleeve on October 25 last year.
Hunt, of Claverham, Somerset, appeared at Bristol Crown Court today to confirm his name only.
He wore a grey sweatshirt in the dock (no gimp suit sadly), and did not enter any pleas to the four charges he faces. Judge Martin Picton said: 'The trial date I will set for November 6.'
