Man exposes himself to Lehigh Acres child

Posted

Police continue looking for a man, Tuesday, who exposed himself to an 11-year-old girl. 

The incident happened Friday on Damen Street, right off Columbus Boulevard. The girl was in front of her house when a man drove by in a Green Ford Expedition or Mountaineer. He said, "hi," and continued driving. 

The man then drove around the block and came back to the house, called the girl beautiful, and got out of his car. That's when the child saw him with his pants down, rubbing his genitals. "It shouldn't be happening, it's pretty disgusting," said one neighbor.

The girls mother was outside at the time and screamed along with the girl, scaring the man away. Neighbors tell Fox 4 several kids love in the area and walk to a bus stop daily, raising concern for one neighbor about her own daughter. "She's 16 years old, something happens to her, trust me I don't know what I would do," she said. 

The man is described as Hispanic and in his 20s to 30s. If you have any information on the identity or whereabouts of the suspect, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS. Tips can also be made online at www.southwestfloridacrimestoppers.com
