Police in suburban Philadelphia investigating reports of a man masturbating naked in the bushes arrested a man who previously pleaded guilty to indecent exposure.

A West Goshen police officer witnessed Gary Hacker, 59, masturbating along the side of Boot Road near Route 202 Friday, said West Goshen Township Police.

Police had been on the search for a naked man who neighbors say was masturbating in the bushes off Boot Road back in August when they made the arrest, said investigators.

Hacker posted 10 percent of 25,000 bail after a judge arraigned the Collegeville man on indecent exposure, lewdness and disorderly conduct.



This wasn't the first time Hacker faced indecent exposure charges. He pleaded guilty to indecent exposure in Montgomery County in 2007 and received two years probation, according to court records.

NBC10 reached out to an attorney who represented Hacker in his previous indecent exposure case for comment.
