FULLERTON, CA —A Fullerton man arrested on suspicion of exposing himself to two teenage girls and sexually assaulting a woman was free on bail Wednesday and police said they suspect he may have victimized others.

Kevin Bejarno, 24, is accused of driving up to the two girls, aged 15 and 16, while they walked together near Walnut and Richman avenues midday Nov. 13, Fullerton police Lt. Jon Radus said. (Bejarno) called out to the girls, but when they ignored him, he drove his 2000 black Ford Mustang alongside them and touched himself before fleeing, Radus said.

Just before 4:45 p.m. the same day, Bejarno allegedly grabbed a 24- year-old woman from behind at Highland and Baker avenues and fondled her before she managed to free herself and run away, the lieutenant said.
