(S) Sanchez, Roman Moorpark 27

A 27-year-old Moorpark resident was arrested Sunday after being identified as the man responsible for exposing himself to several women during the past four months in the city of Moorpark. Roman Sanchez frequently drove his black 2001 Ford Explorer around the Mountain Meadows and Peach Hill neighborhoods in recent months looking for women.

When he found a target, he would pull up alongside her and expose himself, hoping the woman would want to engage in sex acts with him. Instead, the women reported the incidents to sheriff’s deputies, who began an investigation. Information from witnesses and victims led to Sanchez, who works as a window installer for a company in Simi Valley.

Sanchez told investigators he targeted at least six different women. The first incident occurred in Simi Valley approximately four years ago. The other incidents began in July 2008 and occurred in Moorpark.

Anyone with information about Sanchez’ criminal activity is asked to contact the East County Sexual Assault Unit at (805)494-8201.
