WASHINGTON, DC — Metro Transit Police said they arrested and charged a man who allegedly exposed himself to two 12-year-olds aboard a Red Line train Tuesday.

William S. Dienno, 31, was charged with lewd, indecent, or obscene acts following the incident, according to authorities.

Police said the incident happened aboard a Red Line train, between Woodley Park and Gallery Place, shortly before 5 p.m. Tuesday. Dienno allegedly approached a girl and a boy, both 12 years old, and asked each separately if he could have sex with them.
