Comments on the clue
1.I think something more is needed for this clue, as it does not currently show that flasher needs to surround ather.
2.From pervert to FLASHER is a big step. Clue 34's 'exhibitionist' is more appropriate but otherwise this clue works better.
3.A horrible image, and technically the containment is not indicated
4.Erroneous definition, and wordplay leads to FLASHERATHER.
5.It would have been a nice clue if 'with' had been replaced by a container like 'admitting' or some such
