VALINDA -- Deputies jailed a Valinda man Thursday on suspicion of repeatedly exposing himself to both school age children and adults in recent months, authorities said.

Jesse Martin Aragon, 22, was booked on suspicion of six misdemeanor counts of indecent exposure stemming from incidents in Valinda, La Puente and West Covina dating back to January, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. John McBride said.

Several of the incidents centered around Rimgrove Park in Valinda, the lieutenant added.

"The cases are similar in that the suspect was usually seen inside a white SUV-type vehicle with his penis exposed and masturbating as he drove alongside the victims," sheriff's officials said in a written statement.
Victims in the incidents were able to identify Aragon as the person who exposed himself during follow-up investigation, officials said.
According to sheriff's booking records, Aragon was being held in lieu of $35,000 bail.

In addition to notifying the community that an arrest has been made in regard to recent reports of indecent exposure, McBride asked that if anyone else had had encounters with Aragon that have not been reported to step forward.
