Man reportedly exposed himself to woman near Ocean View businesses on the run

An employee who works at the 'Soaps N Suds' near where the incident happened is concerned because that area is always crowded.

NORFOLK, Va. — According to Norfolk police, a man was reportedly exposing himself Sunday night in Norfolk. 

Norfolk police said they got the call around 7:30 p.m. to the Soaps 'n Suds in Ocean View off East Little Creek Road. Police said that’s where a woman reported that a man called her over to his car in the parking lot of the washing machine store, asking for directions.

The woman said when she got to the car, the man allegedly exposed himself, and performed a sex act with his pants down by his ankles. 

Darlene Joe works at the Soaps 'n Suds and she said that it’s a very crowded area.

“This is a very busy area. You’ve got homes, people be hanging around, and it’s always a busy area. A lot of women walk back and forth here coming from the bus stop,” said Joe. 

Joe said that from here on out, she would be more aware of her surroundings.

“I’m not really scared, just disgusted. I’ll be more aware of my surroundings now because you never know, that person might pull up here,” said Joe. 

Joe asked that if anyone sees the suspect, they report him to the police.

“They should report it immediately. Don’t hesitate to report it because the next person may not be so lucky, and they could wind up hurting the person or something. You just never know,” said Joe.
