Magnolia sex offender charged with indecent exposure

A Magnolia sex offender was arrested Tuesday after exposing himself repeatedly to children on a nearby playground, Milford police said Friday.

Officers were contacted about a man — later identified as Alfred I. Smith III, 24 — standing in the doorway of a residence at Mispillion Apartment Complex in Milford naked, Detective Dwight Young said.

Adults on the playground, which Smith’s apartment overlooked, reported seeing the man stand in the doorway naked multiple times, Young said.

When police charged Smith with indecent exposure, officers also learned he was a Tier 2 registered sex offender who failed to re-register at his new address, Young added.

Smith was also charged with failure to re-register as a sex offender and released on $1,500 unsecured bail.
