Welcome to Arrest Stories. A seventy-five-year-old man faces public lewdness charges after allegedly exposing himself to women and young girls in the Village of Pawling. Here's what may have happened.
On August twenty-fifth, the Village of Pawling Mayor's Office contacted the Sheriff's Office with disturbing reports. Officials had received concerns about a man possibly exposing himself in public areas throughout the village. The allegations suggested someone was intentionally displaying his private parts to unsuspecting victims, including women and young girls.
The Sheriff's Office immediately launched an investigation, deploying both Detective and Patrol Bureaus to look into these serious accusations. Over the course of several days, investigators worked to verify the reports and identify the suspect allegedly responsible for these brazen acts in public spaces.
Three days later, on August twenty-eighth, their investigation led to an arrest. Daniel Dorn, a seventy-five-year-old man, was taken into custody on charges of public lewdness. According to police reports, Dorn intentionally exposed his private parts in public areas of the village, specifically targeting women and young girls as his victims.
The nature of these alleged crimes has shocked the quiet Village of Pawling community. Public lewdness charges carry serious implications, particularly when they involve exposing oneself to minors in public spaces where families gather.
Following his arrest, Dorn was processed and released with an appearance ticket rather than being held in custody. The relatively quick release suggests authorities believe he does not pose an immediate flight risk or danger to the community while awaiting his court proceedings.
Dorn is scheduled to appear before the Village of Pawling Court on Tuesday, September ninth, at five-thirty in the evening. There, he will face the public lewdness charges stemming from these August incidents that allegedly traumatized multiple victims in the community.
The investigation by the Detective and Patrol Bureaus appears to have moved swiftly from initial reports to arrest within just three days.
All suspects presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Do not take this report as factual, always verify facts. Thanks for watching Arrest Stories.
