A 31-year-old Guelph man is charged with committing an indecent act in public after a woman told police she was followed through a downtown park by a masturbating man on Wednesday morning.
The alleged incident happened at Goldie Mill Park, in the area of Cardigan Street and Norwich Street East, notes a police news release, which states it was reported at about 10 a.m.
Officers used photographs provided by the victim to identify the suspect, who was located just after 7 p.m. by officers responding to an unrelated call in the downtown area.
In addition to the indecent act charge, the suspect faces one count of failing to comply with a probation order.
