On July 16, Dennis police arrested Princess King, 50, on an outstanding warrant for open and gross lewdness and a subsequent offense.
The warrant application was based on an investigation of several reports starting in early July, where King was reportedly exposing himself to beachgoers and masturbating in front of women on public and private beaches, officials said.

This is the second arrest in just over a week on Cape Cod that involved a man exposing himself to area women.
Christopher Zarella, 24, of Sagamore Beach, faces charges related to three incidents that were all investigated by the Bourne Police Department.

On June 30, around 3 a.m., police say Zarella again approached a woman at the commuter lot and committed the same act.
On July 10, an arrest warrant was sought and granted for two counts of open and gross lewdness and one count of breaking into a building at night. Zarella was arrested and taken to Falmouth District Court.
