"A Richmond, B.C., man alleged to have a habit of masturbating in front of unsuspecting women and girls in public places is being sought by the local RCMP.
A B.C.-wide warrant has been issued for Reynold Nirlesh Verma, 34, who is wanted for five counts of committing an indecent act in public, Cpl. Jennifer Pound said in a statement issued Thursday.
In all of the incidents, which occurred between Aug. 24 and Oct. 5 in the suburb south of Vancouver, Verma is alleged to have approached women and girls as young as 12 with his pants down or his hands down his pants while they were sitting on park benches, lying on the grass, seated in a restaurant, walking in the mall or studying in a library.
In one case, a mother with three young children was approached two weeks in a row at a playground.
"It is appalling to me that a 12-year-old child should have to become a victim to such a senseless, selfish act," Pound said.
"The public needs to be aware that this type of behaviour is being committed in their community so they know to be vigilant and call the police immediately. Far too often, witnesses and victims of this behaviour dismiss it and don't call the police."
