SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A man accused of masturbating in a Salt Lake City park as he was looking at young girls is now facing charges.
Yesterday, a 35-year-old man was charged with lewdness involving a child and interference with a peace officer making an arrest.
In August, authorities say three girls, ages six through ten, were playing in Jordan Park. Police say that's when they saw a man standing by some bushes, looking at the girls and masturbating. Police say they ordered the man to stop. He then allegedly rode off on his bicycle.
