Los Flores man charged with indecent exposure

Authorities have a man in custody thought to be responsible for several “peeping tom” cases along the Balboa Peninsula, police said.

The suspect, Rick Ryan Febbo, 34, of Los Flores was arrested Sunday after failing to appear in court to face the charges, authorities said. Investigators allege that between Oct. 9 and Nov. 6 Febbo exposed himself four times along the Balboa Peninsula, police said.

Febbo would allegedly peek in the windows of various peninsula homes and was caught masturbating a number of times, police said.

Local police have been on the hunt for the suspect since an arrest warrant was obtained Friday. He was contacted and arrested by Anaheim police Sunday.

Febbo has been charged with indecent exposure and peeping and is being held in the Orange County Jail in Santa Ana on $50,000 bail. He is scheduled for an arraignment Monday at the Harbor Justice Center in Newport Beach.

Newport Beach Police investigators suspect Febbo similarly exposed himself on other occasions and have asked anyone with information to call the Newport Beach Police Department at (800) 550-NBPD.

Police have not released a photograph of the man so as not to hinder the investigation.
