Man exposed himself to students at Winnipeg school playground, police say
A man is facing charges after police say he exposed himself to a group of students at a playground in Winnipeg's Daniel McIntyre area earlier this week.
The incident happened at a school on Banning Street near Ellice Avenue on Tuesday afternoon, police said in a news release Friday.
Officers were told a man, 33, had entered the school grounds, exposed himself to several children and made an inappropriate request, police said.
School staff asked the man to leave the grounds and contacted police.
Police from the child abuse unit took over the investigation and identified a suspect who was arrested on Wednesday on the same block where the school is.
The man was charged with invitation to sexual touching and indecent exposure to a person under the age of 16. He has been released with conditions including having no contact with anyone under 18.
