“He flashed his genitals at me.”
Location: 13th Street and L Street NW, Washington, DC
Time: Night (7:30pm-12:00am)
I was walking on L St, just past 13th, when I heard a hiss. I looked toward that direction and saw a naked man standing in the window of an apartment building. He flashed his genitals at me. I quickly turned and walked away. It seems like he was standing there for quite some time waiting to flash any woman who walked by.
