He laughed: Flasher taunts victim in 3rd incident at San Diego City College

All three of the victims were able to provide detailed descriptions of the suspect to police

For the third time in little over a month, a man has been reported for sexually charged illegal behavior on the campus of downtown's San Diego's City College, according to the school's police department.

The latest incident occurred on Thursday shortly before 4 p.m., when the victim was using a toilet in the fourth-floor men's room of the school's S Building. According to a "Timely Warning Notification" sent out by the SDCC police department later that night, the suspect reached his hand under the partition between the stalls, and the victim looked away. When he looked back, the flasher was kneeling on the floor, nude from the waist down. When the man saw the victim looking at him, he dressed and left the restroom.

The victim remained in the bathroom and called the police, reporting the following suspect description to the police: "Adult male, light complexion, possibly white, with dark leg hair. Subject was wearing dark-colored shorts, possibly gray, blue or black, black crew socks with ankles showing, and black lace-up Vans. Subject may have been carrying a backpack."

In a separate incident almost exactly a month ago, on Sept. 27 at about 9:30 a.m., a man the victim described as a "Hispanic male adult, mid-20s, 5' 7", 185 pounds, stocky build, short black hair, unshaven, wearing an orange sweatshirt, black shorts, black slides and a black backpack with the words 'Level Up' or similar" used a cell phone to record a victim in a women's bathroom after reaching under the partition from an adjoining stall. The victim then left the restroom, which was located in City College's C Building on the second floor, but remained in the area so that they could see the suspect and provide police with a description.

Building S, which houses sciences classrooms, and Building C, the Center for Media & Performing Arts, are catty-corner on the SDCC Campus.

Investigators later determined that the suspect description provided by the victim of the Sept. 27 incident "was similar to that of a subject that was identified earlier this week for indecent exposure." That incident, police said on Friday, did not take place in a rest room.

San Diego City College Police also said on Friday that they had searched for security video of the suspect in all three incidents, including at other nearby locations off-campus, but were unable to find anyone in the footage who matched the suspect descriptions. An official told NBC that they would be providing additional information about the indecent exposure case in September.
