On August 15, 2021 at 2:15 pm, officers responded to the 1200 block of Lakeside Drive on report of a person who exposed his genitals to a 40-year-old female while she was waiting for an elevator. The suspect, later identified as Ricardo Cruz Garcia (8/24/1966), fled on foot in an unknown direction. Sunnyvale detectives were able to identify Garcia, who is a sex registrant due to prior sex crimes convictions. In addition to the charge of 314 PC (indecent exposure), Garcia was arrested for violating the terms of his sex registrant status.
During an interview, Garcia said when he gets stressed out, he finds immediate relief by exposing his genitals to someone. Garcia admitted to previously exposing his genitals to at least one additional person but was unable to recall the location or approximate date when he did so.
Based upon Garcia’s statement, we believe there may be additional victims. If you believe you may have been a victim of Garcia and recognize his picture, please call or email Detective Cayori at: 408-730-7100 or: [email protected].
