NORRISTOWN -- A 45-year-old Douglassville man who had a penchant for exposing himself in view of teenage girls, women and children in towns all along the Route 422 corridor in Montgomery and Chester counties is headed to jail.
David Rodriguez, of Bramblewood Drive, pleaded guilty Friday to charges of indecent exposure and corruption of minors in Montgomery County Court and was sentenced to three to 23 months in the county jail, under a plea agreement accepted by Judge William R. Carpenter. Rodriguez, who was ordered to report to jail Sept. 30 to begin his sentence, also must complete 48 hours of community service. The jail term will be followed by five years? probation.
"He was going to tracks where girls and women were jogging. He was walking around buck naked, masturbating and blowing kisses," said Assistant District Attorney Wendy Demchick-Alloy, who sought a jail sentence against Rodriguez.
"He needs to get a message that this isn?t going to be tolerated. He needed to go to jail."
The judge also ordered Rodriguez to continue psychiatric counseling. While on parole and probation, Rodriguez, who was represented by defense lawyer Jill Scheidt, will be monitored by the county probation department?s sex offender supervision unit.
"Further investigation revealed that Rodriguez lives approximately two to three miles off Route 422, which is the highway that serves as the corridor through which most of these incidents occurred," Trooper Colleen Young wrote in the arrest affidavit.
Young said Rodriguez is a consultant for a pharmaceutical company in Malvern, which allowed him "easy access" to the areas where the public exposure incidents occurred.
Specifically, Rodriguez admitted exposing himself to teenage girls who were members of the Perkiomen Valley High School tennis team on Aug. 27, 2003. A 16-year-old girl told state police at Skippack she saw a nude man standing in the parking lot of the Valley Forge Baptist Church on Trappe Road.
During the course of the investigation into the Perkiomen incident, state police learned of other incidents during which a man exposed himself to women and girls at numerous places in Montgomery and Chester counties.
According to the criminal complaint, two girls, ages 14 and 15, were jogging on the track at Perkiomen Valley High School on Gravel Pike on Oct. 13 when they heard someone blowing kisses at them from the side of the track. The girls turned and observed a naked male standing next to the bleachers masturbating, police said.
A composite sketch of the man was created and police also had a description of his car, a white Pontiac Grand Am with no license plate. The two Perkiomen incidents generated the sharing of information between numerous area law enforcement agencies.
Lower Salford police reported a 33-year-old woman, who was walking with her infant son in the Montgomery Woods development on July 28, 2003, was approached by a naked man, wearing only blue dress socks.
On Sept. 25, 2003, Lower Pottsgrove police received a report of a man exposing himself and masturbating in view of a 41-year-old woman who was jogging at Pottsgrove High School on Kauffman Road, court documents indicate.
On Nov. 25, 2003, witnesses reported a naked man masturbating while watching a group of children at the Gateway Shopping Center in Tredyffrin, Chester County. Similar incidents were reported in Royersford and East Whiteland between October and November 2003.
Rodriguez continued to elude authorities until Dec. 28 when police stopped his Grand Am, because it didn?t display a license plate, on westbound Route 422 at Route 29 in Upper Providence. When confronted about the public exposure incidents, Rodriguez confessed, saying he took his license plate off his car during the incidents so he would not be identified, according to court documents.
"Rodriguez further related that he did this for sexual relief and he did not plan on hurting any of the girls or women whom he exposed himself to," Young wrote.
Forensic tests determined that a semen specimen found on the ground after one incident in Tredyffrin matched Rodriguez?s genetic makeup.
