PRINCE GEORGE — RCMP are seeking witnesses or victims to a pair of indecent acts in Prince George.

Mounties say they are investigating two instances where a man exposed his genitalia in the view of the public.

The first instance occurred on January 13, 2025 at approximately 11:30 am. on a transit bus when a man exposed his genitalia to a young woman who was sitting in an empty section of the bus. She left the bus quickly and reported the incident to police.

The second instance occurred later that day around 4 p.m. when the same man exposed himself in a movie theatre and began to masturbate in view of those in the theatre. The man was removed from the theatre by staff and the incident was reported to police.

“This is a complex situation that our Special Victims Unit is aware of and is currently investigating. The suspect was arrested for both incidents and released to the care of his group home on an undertaking with conditions. Police officers are asking that if anyone else experienced a similar event to please contact Prince George RCMP by calling our non-emergency line at 250-561-3300,” states Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

The man is described as heavier set, Indigenous and in his mid-thirties to forties with short dark hair. On the day these incidents took place, he was wearing a black and camouflage jacket and grey camouflage pants.
