Cops have arrested a Sea Gate man for exposing himself to several young girls in Bensonhurst, Gravesend and Sheepshead Bay within the last two weeks.

The story first made headlines last week, when cops revealed they were hunting a man driving a white pickup truck who they believed were responsible for three separate flashing incidents that occurred within the span of 15 minutes.

The spree took place on Monday, March 17, between 7:25 a.m. and 7:40 a.m. The villain chatted up an 11-year-old girl on West 9th Street and Avenue O before flashing his genitals and running off.

Minutes later he turned up on West 7th Street and Bay Parkway and followed a 14-year-old girl into an apartment building, and exposed himself again. Finally, he approached a 13-year-old girl on West 6th Street and 65th Street and again provided a generous but unwanted view of his privates.

Apparently, that wasn’t all. Brooklyn Daily is reporting that police believe the same man flashed a group of 13-year-old girls on the corner of East 24th Street and Gravesend Neck Road on March 11. There is a heavily used playground at that intersection, and an elementary school a block away. The outlet reports that the girls approached the intersection when they came into view of the suspect in the pickup truck, sitting with genitals in public view.

The suspect is charged with burglary, public lewdness, exposure of person and acting in a manner injurious to a minor.
