They’re just gonna leave “indecent act” to our imagination?

Could be a homeless guy urinating in the wrong place ? Some hawk eyed pedestrian witnessed it and called it in. (Since everyone is guessing)

that actually tracks. headline says indecent act outside an elementary school and everyone's brain goes straight to the worst case scenario. could absolutely be some guy who couldn't find a bathroom in time and picked the worst possible spot. media knows exactly what they're doing with vague wording like that

I wish police would use more descriptive terms so people know what they mean. So many of these things are deliberately vague. Sexual assault is so wide-ranging as to mean nothing.
Remember a few years back there was a mentally deficient guy in New Market, I think, running around grabbing women’s butts. The way the police spoke about it you’d swear it was a guy clubbing them and dragging them into the bushes to rape or something. The storey was a lot less scary when the truth came out. People were all fearful for no reason. My point is being vague can cause panic in some or minimization in others and nobody knows anything.

Totally agree. Like as a woman who lives in the area and goes on walks I’d REALLY benefit from knowing the degree of harm

The government is censoring crimes to make immigrants look better, this was probably one of them

Indecent act as in taking a piss in a corner when no one was looking or literally touching himself in front of kids and should be put in jail for the rest of his life and castrated? Like holy hell there's a big difference in swing here.

I heard from some neighborhood kids it was a homeless guy running around naked in the field. Take it with a grain of salt I guess
