An Ottawa man has been charged after he allegedly exposed himself to a teenage girl at a local swimming pool.

The man, 33, allegedly exposed himself to the teen on Mar. 4 in the change room area of the Splash Wave Pool on Ogilvie Road in the city's Gloucester neighbourhood, the Ottawa Police Service said Thursday.

By the time officers arrived at the pool that day, the man had already left, police said.

Five days later, the man returned to the wave pool. He was arrested after being recognized by pool employees, police said.

The man faces one count of committing an indecent act in a public place and one count of mischief to property, police said.

He was scheduled to appear in court Thursday.

Anyone with more information can call the police service's sexual assault and child abuse unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5944, or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.
