Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:32:54 GMT

DANVILLE — On the morning of last March 13, a 17-year-old Monte Vista High School student had just parked her car on campus and was walking to class when she heard a man’s voice say, “Hi.”When the she turned, the girl saw a pants-less adult male, sitting in a four-door sedan, and very obviously masturbating in front of her. After a few seconds she overcame her shock and headed into school, then wasted no time to call police.Over the next 10 days, police not only identified a suspect, but linked him to several other similar indecent exposure incidents in Walnut Creek and Berkeley. When he was arrested, police say his phone showed a strong indicator that he’d driven to Danville looking to expose himself to a child: he allegedly searched for Monte Vista High School on Google Maps just eight minutes before the 17-year-old was accosted.The suspect, identified in court records as 40-year-old Monroe Lebeau III, was charged May 26 with six counts of indecent ex...

She’s a good horseman.”The heart-warming victory put a positive note on a Triple Crown series marred by deaths of horses at Churchill Downs in the weeks around the Kentucky Derby and another on Preakness day ...
