Two Alleged Indecent Exposure Incidents Near Middle School: Cops

BOULDER, CO -- Local police are seeking information about an unknown man who reportedly exposed himself on two occasions to female students walking home from Manhattan Middle School on Dec. 4, according to a press release from the Boulder Police Department. At the time of each incident, the man was reportedly naked, apart from a grey beanie, while driving a silver sedan with a loud muffler and masturbating. When the victims, 12 and 13-years-old, realized what was going on they both ran home.

The suspect is described as a white male between 5’6” and 6’ tall, with brown eyes and an average build. Investigators were able to confirm information related to these incidents and obtain a composite sketch of the man.
