A Virginia man was charged with felony child endangerment and indecent exposure on Friday after police found his 1-year-old twin daughters inside his hot vehicle while he was having sex behind a friend’s duplex.

Prince George police told WTVR that neighbors called on Friday to report hearing the sounds of children crying. Officers responding to the scene found the two 1-year-old babies inside 27-year-old Juan Munford’s hot car, while he was having sex with a woman about 30 feet away.

“We went around to the back of the duplex and discovered a male and a female engaging in sexual intercourse,” Prince George Police spokesperson Capt. Brian Kei explained. “At that point [officers] made contact with the individual who identified himself as the father of the two twins.”

The neighbor who called police insisted to WTVR that he made the right decision because so many children had recently died from being left in hot cars. But the neighbor said that he did not feel safe interrupting the father’s tryst.

“I was afraid to get fussed at because I was interrupting something,” he said.

Munford was charged with two counts of child endangerment, and one count of indecent exposure. He was expected to spend the weekend in jail. The woman was charged with incident exposure, and released at the scene.

The two 1-year-old children were taken to Southside Regional Medical Center for evaluation, and placed in the care of child protective services.
