Oakland Co. Man Charged After Exposing Himself To Pre-Teen Girls: Police

ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — A 32-year-old Auburn Hills man is facing charges after twice exposing himself to a group of pre-teen girls earlier this summer in Rochester Hills, according to police.

The man was charged with two counts of indecent exposure. He was placed in the Oakland County Jail with a $5,000 bond. His next court date is scheduled for Aug. 27. If convicted, he faces up to one year in jail.

"I appreciate the public’s help with numerous tips coming in after the suspect’s photo was released," Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. "He was taken into custody last night and now has been charged and arraigned. We look forward to this case moving forward in the days ahead."

The incident happened at 4 p.m. on June 29 outside the Shake Shack at 66 N. Adams Road and the Barnes and Noble Bookstore at 200 N. Adams Road in the Village of Rochester Hills, police said.

The girls told investigators they were sitting outside the restaurant when the man walked by them and lifted his shirt, police said.

When he did this, the girls saw that his zipper was down and he had exposed himself, police said.
The girls moved in front of the bookstore and saw the same man a few minutes later, police said.

He again lifted his shirt and exposed his "privates," police said.

The girls yelled at the man after the second instance and he quickened his pace, police said.

Several adult women were nearby and asked the girls if they needed help, police said.

The man took off running through an open-air food court and into the parking lot, police said.

Police believe he may have been involved in a similar incident in Auburn Hills earlier that same day. No other details about that incident were released.
