Man accused of exposing himself to woman minutes after registering as sex offender

Police in Placerville, California, on Tuesday arrested a man accused of exposing himself a few minutes after he registered with the Police Department as a sex offender.

Police said Esteban Rocha, 51, a convicted sex offender, went to the Police Department at about 11:50am to register as a sex offender as required by state law and as a condition of his parole.



He completed the registration and left the Police Department at 12:30pm. Approximately 25 minutes later, police received a 911 call reporting a man matching Rocha’s description exposing himself to a woman a short distance from the police station.

Officers responded and detained Rocha. They said he was identified by the woman and arrested. Rocha was booked into El Dorado County Jail for a parole violation and on suspicion of committing indecent exposure with prior convictions.
