Man arrested for exposing himself to children in Arizona

A 77-year-old man was arrested at a bookstore in Gilbert, Arizona, for allegedly exposing himself to children. The incident occurred at a Barnes and Noble on February 16. Witnesses reported the behavior, and police quickly located the suspect, Loren Bauer, who was in his vehicle nearby. During the arrest, officers found open containers of alcohol in Bauer's car and noted he smelled of alcohol. Court documents reveal that Bauer has a lengthy criminal history with over two dozen prior arrests for indecent exposure in several states, including Minnesota, Florida, Colorado, and Texas. Bauer is now facing three counts of public sexual indecent contact and one count of sexual indecent exposure involving a minor. Reports indicate he showed "no remorse or regret" for his actions during his arrest.
