Suffolk Police Investigating Man Exposing Himself Outside Of Medford School In 2 Separate Incidents

MEDFORD, NY — Suffolk police said they are investigating incidents in which a man exposed himself outside of Eagle Elementary School in Medford two separate times.

The two incidents took place on Saturday, March 21, and Sunday, March 29, and no students were on the grounds at the time, police said.

In a letter to the school community, Patchogue-Medford Union Free School District Superintendent Lori Cannetti wrote that a “district rover” saw a man engaged in inappropriate behavior on school grounds, including indecent exposure, and directed him to leave the property.

The district immediately launched an investigation and reviewed security videos of the incident, and it was discovered that the same person was involved in similar behavior the previous Saturday, according to Cannetti.

The district notified the police, and an investigation is "underway," with the district "fully cooperating," she said.

In her letter she said: "The safety and security of our school community remain our highest priority. Additional security will be in place at Eagle Elementary School this weekend. Please report any suspicious activity that may be related to this incident to the Suffolk County Police Department."

"Thank you for your cooperation in helping keep our district safe," she added.
