A 28-year-old Filipino non-resident worker who allegedly “exposed the lower part of his body” to a woman in the Montanha Russa Garden area several times told police that it wasn’t intentional, insisting that he didn’t put his trousers on properly because he was in a rush to get ready for work, Public Security Police (PSP) spokesman Ho Ka Kit announced in the regular press conference on Friday.
According to the spokesman, the suspected exhibitionist surnamed Vital works as a machine operator.
According to Ho, a mainland woman reported to the police that the same man had exposed his genitals to her on February 28 and March 10 when she walked alone in Rua de São João Bosco.
Ho said that Vital exposed his private parts to the woman at about 8 a.m. last Monday for the third time in the same location.
Ho said that the suspect was wearing a black shirt and when he saw the woman, he immediately lifted up his shirt and exposed his body. The woman felt uneasy and frightened so she ran away and asked a policeman on patrol for help.
The policeman intercepted Vital in Rua de Silva Mendes. Vital denied that he had exposed his private parts to the woman, saying that he did not dress properly as he was rushing to get to work, and didn’t mean to expose his genitals.
The spokesman said that the victim demanded that criminal action be taken against the suspect, and Vital has since been transferred to the Public Prosecution Office (MP) for further questioning, facing a charge of exhibitionism, according to Article 165 of the Macau Penal Code.
