Tyler Mountain, 27, of Lake Wales, was arrested on charges of lewd exhibition and lewd exhibition to an elderly person, deputies said in a news release<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An investigation began in October after a 76-year-old woman reported a Massey Services employee had exposed himself to her while he was in her Davenport home to provide an estimate for pest control services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man reportedly stepped out of the bathroom with his genitalia exposed, saying his zipper was broken and that he needed help, which she refused, authorities said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Polk County deputy contacted the company which ultimately fired Mountain following the complaint, stating it was the second complaint they received about him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other victim told Deputies Mountain came to her Haines City home in July for lawn maintenance, exposed himself, and also claimed his zipper was broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheriff’s office is encouraging any other potential victims to come forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This man used his work position to gain access to the homes of these women, and then sexually exposed himself\u2014this behavior is disgusting and predatory,” Sheriff Grady Judd said in a statement. “We believe it\u2019s possible that more victims of this man could be out there, and if that\u2019s the case, we want them to come forward.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any information regarding similar acts by Mountain, you’re urged to call PCSO at 863-298-6200.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
