Man Arrested for Multiple Counts of Exposing Himself to Young Girls

Police arrested Andrew Christopher Riley Wednesday after a month long investigation. Riley, 36, is being charged with six counts of indecent exposure and engaging in lewd acts after he allegedly exposed himself to young girls — all suspected of being 12 and under.

The incidents were concentrated in the Waldo Rohnert, Monte Vista and John Reed elementary school areas, said Sgt. Jeff Nicks, of the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety. Riley would honk his car horn or wave to get the girls' attention, then expose himself.

Police responded to the March 2 about a block away from John Reed Elementary School. Riley had pulled his gray sedan up to a nine-year-old girl.

“He pulled up right next to her so that when she looked at him, she saw the man was exposing himself,” said Sgt. Troy Moore. “She immediately took off running to school and reported the incident.”

One of the girls pointed out to a parent one of the two cars that Riley was seen driving in, a Toyota Prius, Nicks said.

Police worked with area schools and residents to get leads on the suspect. The parent took down the license plate and notified police, which led detectives to identifying Riley as the suspect, Nicks said.

Riley was booked at Sonoma County Jail bail set at $25,000.

Nicks said that Riley has a previous criminal record, but not for lewd acts or indecent exposure.

Police note: Although a suspect has been arrested in this case, we still encourage school aged children to walk in groups and/or in the company of their parents or trustworthy adult.
