Indecent Exposure, Sexual Battery On Wilson Blvd. Investigated

ARLINGTON, VA — Arlington County Police are investigating two recent incidents that occurred along Wilson Boulevard, one an indecent exposure in Ballston and the other a sexual battery in the Clarendon area, according to the daily crime report.

Officers responded around 2:04 p.m. on Friday for the report of an exposure in the 4200 block of Wilson Boulevard. A preliminary investigation revealed an unknown man had exposed himself to a male victim and then began masturbating. When the victim left the area, the man followed him, exposing himself and masturbating again. The victim fled the area.

After searching the neighborhood, police were unable to locate the suspect. They described the suspect as a white man with a slim build and gray hair. He was about 50 to 60 years old and 5-foot-4 tall. At the time of the incident, he was wearing all black clothing, a blue and white hat, and an orange face mask.

In the second incident, officers responded around 2:32 a.m. on Saturday to the report of a sexual battery. The victim told police she was sitting outside a business around 1:50 a.m., when a man she didn't know sat down next to her and started a conversation. He then grabbed the woman inappropriately and tried to pull her toward him with his other hand. The victim jumped up and ran toward a witness.

Police described the suspect as a Hispanic man who weighed about 200 pounds and was 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-9 in height. He had dark colored hair and a round face. At the time of the incident, he was wearing a red T-shirt and was pushing a dark colored bicycle.

Both of these cases remain active investigations.
