A Tuscaloosa man was arrested Wednesday and charged with indecent exposure after he allegedly showed a woman his penis in an attempt to persuade her to drop assault charges she'd previously filed against him.

According to court documents filed Thursday, 32-year-old Wiley Lee Sanders was arrested last month and charged with third-degree assault. Sanders was arrested again Wednesday and charged with indecent exposure.

According to the deposition filed with the charges, Sanders went on May 10 to the home of the alleged victim of the previous assault to ask her to drop the charges against him.

He offered to have sex with her once and left when she turned him down, but returned hours later, according to the documents. The second time the woman opened the door, Sanders dropped his pants and showed her his penis, then asked to either come inside or to take her back to his apartment.

The woman refused, went inside and closed the door, according to the deposition.

After she reported the incident to police, a warrant was issued on May 29 charging Sanders with exposure. He was arrested Wednesday, and has since left the Tuscaloosa County Jail on bond.
