OCEANSIDE, Calif. (KGTV) –Authorities are asking for the public’s help in identifying and locating a man suspected in a string of incidents in Oceanside, including indecent exposure, peeping, and sexual assault.
“He comes up and knocks on people’s doors, usually between the hours of 8 in the evening and 11, and exposes himself,” said Tom Bussey, public information officer for the Oceanside Police Department.
“He has quite a few tattoos on the upper left arm and across his chest. We’re trying to get this information out to see if anybody might recognize him.”
Oceanside police said officers have responded to seven peeping and indecent exposure calls at or near the River Oaks Apartments on 3880 San Ramon Dr. since June.
In an incident on Sept. 5, police said a man “grabbed a female and sexually assaulted her.”

In one instance, a surveillance camera briefly captured the suspect walking nude outside of a residence.
According to police, the man is usually naked and has a medium-sized tattoo on his left arm and possibly on his chest.
