Possible New Sighting of Man Who Allegedly Exposed Himself to Child

Kennesaw police responded to the sighting, but did not find the man in question.

A group of Kennesaw teenagers may have spotted the man who allegedly exposed himself to a child who was walking to her bus stop earlier this week.

WSB-TV reports that the teens claimed to have seen the man at the entrance to the McEver Woods subdivision at 7:40 a.m. Thursday. Police were called, but the man was gone by the time they arrived. Residents hope that nearby security cameras recorded images of the man, according to WSB-TV.

A young girl walking to her subdivision in the vicinity of Baker Road in Acworth on Tuesday morning reported that a white male in his 30s or 40s, with orange or brown hair and facial hair driving a gold or tan colored car with a “patchy” paint job pulled up alongside her and exposed himself.
