The hearing was told the women were left “shocked”, “numb”, and “frightened” by Richard’s actions.
One member of staff was called to his office to find him standing next to his desk with his trousers and pants pulled down, while another said he showed explicit pictures from his phone during a meeting.
On another occasion, he revealed a video of him caressing himself, the panel heard.
At times, he had appeared apologetic after an incident and was said to have told one female staff member he “can’t help myself”.
In total, five women who worked with Richards described that he had exposed himself to them, leaving them too scared to report him.
