LAKEHURST – A local man was arrested for allegedly touching himself in front of two children playing in a yard, and police said he had done a similar thing last year.
Richard Davis, 66, of Lakehurst, was arrested and charged with two counts of Sexual Assault, and two counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child, according to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.
Charges are merely accusations until proven in a court of law.
Police said Davis was touching himself inappropriately in front of two children who were playing in their yard. This incident happened on Aug. 20.
Davis was previously charged with Endangering the Welfare of a Child for an incident on May 17, 2019. A mother reported to the police that he was touching himself inappropriately in the presence of a child at Lake Horicon.
Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer acknowledged the Lakehurst Police Department, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit, and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit for their thorough investigation leading to Davis’ arrest.
