A 37-year-old Los Angeles man was arrested in connection with an indecent exposure incident that involved a young teen girl earlier this month in Santa Monica.
The crime was reported Jan. 20 in the 1300 block of Grant Street. That’s where the girl, who was walking home, encountered a man seated in a white van who exposed himself before leaving the area, authorities told NBC4 Investigates.
The girl immediately reported the crime to family members, who contacted police.
On Tuesday, detectives arrested Edgar Hernandez Perez, 37, of Los Angeles. He was booked at the Santa Monica Jail on suspicion of indecent exposure and child annoyance.
Anyone with more information about the case was asked to call police
