Glendale police search for additional victims of suspected serial flasher
The Glendale Police Department is searching for additional victims of a serial flasher who allegedly exposed his genitals to several people over a period of six months.
Chad Nacapoy, a 28-year-old local resident, was arrested Wednesday after police identified him as the suspected flasher.
Sgt. Dan Suttles, a spokesman for the department, said police began investigating a series of indecent exposure incidents in August 2017 that involved a man waving female students over to his car while they were walking to school.
In all but one case, the man was driving a black sedan. The other time he was seen in a red SUV.
“He would get their attention and ask them for directions,” Suttles said. “He’d say he couldn’t hear them and asked them to come closer.”
The man would then expose his genitals while the young women walked toward the passenger side of the vehicle. Suttles said six people gave similar descriptions of the flasher, and the victims ranged in age from 16 to 23.
Officers surveilled the neighborhood where the incidents occurred, looking for potential suspects and soon found Nacapoy. Officers discovered a black Honda Accord and red Ford Explorer parked near his home, and he matched the victims’ descriptions, according to Suttles.
Nacapoy was taken into custody without incident and charged with six counts of indecent exposure by the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office. He is being held on $30,000 bail.
