Caught in the act

A man who likes to wave his penis at strangers has been taught a valuable lesson in Virginia Beach, VA., and from an unlikely teacher. Riding alone with the man in an elevator, a 12-year-old girl was at first startled when the man exposed himself. Then, she quickly grabbed his zipper and sealed it up for him, snagging his little showman on the way. When the doors opened, the girl ran to tell her stepfather. Though her stepfather managed to catch up with the injured man outside the building, after a brief scuffle the flasher broke free and fled the area.

Police who arrived at the scene found enough blood for them to assume the flasher will be needing medical attention. They will continue checking area hospitals until he turns up, at which point he will face felony charges of taking indecent liberties with a minor. :
