For the past several weeks, the Tempe Police Department has been investigating a string of incidents where a man would expose himself and masturbate in front of young women at apartment complex pools, and over the weekend, they arrested a guy doing exactly that.
Matthew Marvin Flentge, 43, was busted Saturday afternoon after he was seen masturbating in front of a 24-year-old woman at an apartment complex at 1905 East University Drive in Tempe.
Flentge, a registered sex offender, left the scene before police arrived, but was spotted walking through a different apartment complex by an officer conducting surveillance in response to the string of indecent-exposure cases in the area.
In total, the TPD has identified seven recent incidents of public sexual indecency, or indecent exposure -- all of which have occurred in the last few weeks. In at least four of the incidents, the physical description of the suspect has been the same and could be a match for Flentge.
