Suspect accused of exposing, fondling himself near Phoenix day care

PHOENIX — Authorities are investigating reports that a suspect allegedly exposed and fondled himself near a Phoenix day care.

Lewis said witnesses said the man was “exposing and fondling himself” near the business, which was in the proximity of an occupied day care.

Around 8:30 p.m. that evening, a staffer from the veterinarian clinic reported a sexual assault.

The woman told police she was attacked and strangled from behind and she believed her attacker was the same man, Lewis said.

She “awoke and felt she was sexually assaulted,” he added.

Officers still have not located or identified the suspect.
