Passaic Man Showed His Genitals To Young Girls: Police

A Passaic County man was arrested after he exposed his genitals to several young girls while walking in Passaic earlier this month, police said.

Kenny Gastone, 49, was charged with fourth-degree lewdness, three counts of lewdness, a disorderly persons offense, and four counts of endangering the welfare of a child, said Chief Luis Guzman.

Twice on April 12, Gastone exposed his genitals to young girls while walking in the southwest part of Passaic, Guzman said. Gastone did not touch any of the girls, and they did not touch him, he said.

Gastone was identified through eyewitness accounts and "strong investigative work," Guzman said. He was arrested at his job in Nutley Wednesday.

"This is yet another great example of the hard work performed by our officers every day, often without acknowledgment, in a never-ending effort to make our city a safer place to live and work," Passaic Mayor Hector Lora said.
