OC Sheriff's Deputies Hope Public Can Help Them Nab Indecent Exposure Suspect Flashing Grade Schoolers

MISSION VIEJO (CBSLA.com)   —  Orange County Sheriff's Deputies hope the public can help them identify an indecent exposure suspect.

Deputies responded to a report of a suspicious person in the creek west of Glen Yermo Elementary School in Mission Viejo on Friday around noon.

When deputies arrived, they said they encountered a white male  facing the school with his pants down exposing himself.

As deputies approached, the suspect fled. After an exhaustive search by ground and air, the suspect was not located.

The suspect was described as in his  early 40's, about 185 pounds, medium build, wearing a tan baseball hat, light blue shirt, dark basketball style shorts and dark colored shoes.

Deputies later learned of two additional indecent exposure incidents approximately one week ago in the same area in Mission Viejo. Both victims were females in grade school. The description given of that suspect appears to match the the man who fled he creek area yesterday.

A composite sketch was drawn based on the description given of the suspect.

Anyone with information about this person's identity is asked to call the Orange County Sheriff's Department at (714) 628-7170. Anonymous tips can be submitted to Orange County Crime Stoppers at 1-855-TIP-OCCS.
