Update: New Sketch Released of Public Masturbator

The indecent exposure cases range from Scotts Valley to Seascape and Watsonville.

Detectives this week released a sketch of the man who followed two 16-year-old girls in Seascape and masturbated in front of them Saturday afternoon.

Investigators suspect the indecent exposure case could be related to similar incidents in Watsonville on Friday and in Scotts Valley in September.

In Seascape, the man was described as white, in his late 20s with brown hair and a short beard, wearing a black T-shirt. He was driving a black Toyota sedan.

"There's been other similars," sheriff's deputy April Skalland said. "We want to make it known to the public."

A fourth possibly related incident happened Tuesday near Manfre Road and Buena Vista Drive, north of Watsonville, when a girl reported a black sedan following her. However, no one exposed himself to the girl, Skalland said.

"There are all these things going on, we just want to make the public aware," she said.

The Watsonville victims—a teenage girl and two women—described him as a white male in his late 20's to early 30's, with blonde or light brown hair and a beard and chubby. He driving a stock 2006-2008 black Toyota Camry or Corolla four door with a gold metal embalm and a possible partial California license plate number: 5K_ _ _ _ _, Watsonville police said.

In Scotts Valley, he was described as being a white male, between 26 to 28 years old, and overweight with black hair.

Investigators ask that anyone with information about the indecent exposure cases call the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office dispatch at 471-1121.

@thomas martinez ... ' You have created a ghost like the "Brown Berets" to blame all yourRead More troubles on. A group of young brown kids who fix bikes? wow, how scary. Well since now you have all these opinions, ...' --------------------------------------------------------- thomas, how much research have you done with regard to the brown berets? If you ever try to google 'brown berets,' you will see that fixing bikes is not the main purpose mentioned on those sites ... maybe they do a modicum of that in Watsonville but it is not their main purpose in helping our youth. When they incite students to walk out of classes and to cause havoc in the streets and freeway, that is not a positive action for educating our young people. The main purpose of the website for bbs is negative support for our law enforcement and our military ... both of which are the boon of everyone's safety. And the brown fist raised with an angry attitude is not condusive to a peaceful and supportive action for this community. Strange how the non hispanics are always the ones labeled 'racist.' Why not just get off your 'empowerment for brown' and get with 'empowerment for all humankind.' If we are to live together then maybe we have to learn to respect one another's rights and person. Also ... NO on T ... we need fresh air and fresh land to keep breathing ...
