Man Exposes Himself to Group of Children

The children were between the ages of 9-11.

On Wednesday evening around 4 p.m., five girls between the ages of 9-11 were left with the horror of seeing a 63-year-old man expose himself in front of them. 

The children were playing outside when Gary Preston Ades, of the 10000 block of Frontage Road, opened his door and faced the girls naked, according to the report.

Police interviewed the five young girls individually and each stated that they either saw his "private parts" or "his thing," according to the report.

One of the girls reported that Ades faced her completely naked for a short period of time and was able to see his penis, according to police.

Yet this isn't the first time that Ades has exposed himself in public.

According to police, a neighbor said that she saw Ades come to his front door completely naked about three months ago. While she didn't call police, "someone else did," according to police.

On June 29, officers had to report to Ades' home regarding a complaint that he was outside checking his mail while completely naked.

Ades told police that he was naked because he was about to take a shower and didn't think anybody was outside. Officers questioned how he thought nobody was outside even though five girls "were playing outside loudly," at which Ades put his "head down and didn't say anything," according to the report.

He then went on to say that he has had a psychological problem ever since his wife passed away. Ades was charged with one count of misdemeanor disorderly conduct and has a court date of Oct. 18.
