Authorities say Juan Gutierrez Bahena watched 12-year-old get out of shower and flashed woman in Lake Forest.

LAKE FOREST - A career criminal who returned to Orange County less than a month after he was deported was arrested Monday after authorities say he peeked through a window to watch a 12-year-old boy get out of the shower and then dropped his pants in front of a woman.

Juan Gutierrez Bahena, 28, was deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement on May 26 after serving time in state prison for drug possession, Sheriff's Department spokesman Jim Amormino said. Bahena also has several convictions for burglary and resisting arrest.

On Monday, a boy said he saw a man watching him as he got out of the shower at a home in the 23160 block of Saguaro Street, Amormino said. The man – later identified by authorities as Bahena – tapped on the window, trying to get the boy's attention, Amormino said. The boy ran to his mother, who chased the man away and called sheriff's deputies, Amormino said.

About an hour later, a man walked out of a first-floor apartment at the Aliso Creek Villas and dropped his track pants in front of a woman. The woman, who had just dropped her 7-year-old daughter off at a friend's apartment in the same complex, called deputies.

Deputies used their Tasers to subdue Bahena after he threatened to fight them, Amormino said.

Bahena, who was arrested on suspicion of indecent exposure and peeping, was flagged for an immigration hold by sheriff's deputies at the Orange County Jail.

Federal prosecutors could charge Bahena with a felony for returning to the U.S. after being formally deported, said ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice.
