A Hempstead man was arrested by Garden City police Thursday for exposing himself to multiple women around the village, police said.

Detectives said that between Sept. 25, 2016, and Jan. 5, 2017, Cameron L. McDermott, 31, of Main Street, exposed himself to multiple women in Garden City. According to police:

• On Sept. 25 at 10:30 p.m., he approached a 21-year-old woman in a parking lot at Adelphi University. He exposed himself and, after asking her a question, urinated on her leg.
• On Sept. 30 at 9 p.m. he called a 20-year-old woman over to his car on Hamilton Place. As the victim approached the vehicle, he was exposed and appeared to be videoing.
• On Oct. 16 at 5 p.m., he approached a 44-year-old woman in a parking lot on Ninth Street. He asked her a question at which time the woman realized he was exposing himself.
• On Nov. 23 at 5 p.m., he parked next to a 53-year-old woman in Parking Field 7N. He asked her a question, at which time she realized he had no pants on.
• On Nov. 23 at 5:30 p.m., he approached a 36-year-old woman in Parking Field 7N and started speaking to her, when she discovered he was not wearing pants.
• On Jan. 5 at 5:45 p.m., he approached a 15-year-old girl on Chestnut Street and asked her a question while he was exposing himself.

On Jan. 19 at 5:30 p.m., McDermott was located in the parking garage of his apartment in Hempstead where he was placed under arrest. He was in possession of a cell phone and a laptop computer which contained several pictures and videos of similar incidents. One video recovered contained two females under the age of 16 engaging in a sexual performance.

McDermott is charged with possessing sexual performance of a child, first-degree public lewdness, five counts of public lewdness and endangering the welfare of a child. He is scheduled to be arraigned on Friday at first District Court in Hempstead.

Detectives ask if anyone feels they were a victim of a similar crime to contact Garden City Police Department at 516-465-4150.
