Georgia man charged with exposing himself to elderly woman in Haile Plantation
Staff report
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Ryan Christopher Dee, 47, of St. Marys, GA, was arrested yesterday after allegedly exposing himself to an elderly woman who was walking her dog in Haile Plantation.
At about 10:07 a.m. on December 28, an Alachua County Sheriff’s Deputy responded to the 9600 block of SW 32nd Lane, where the 81-year-old victim said she was walking her dog when the driver of a passing car made eye contact with her and then opened the door of his car.
She said she stopped to ask him if he needed help with directions, but instead of answering, he turned his body so his legs were outside the vehicle, and she saw that he wasn’t wearing pants or underwear. She said he started masturbating while staring directly at her; she panicked and started screaming, and he drove away.
Post Miranda, Dee reportedly admitted that he masturbated in the victim’s neighborhood but didn’t think anyone saw him.
The deputy reported that the victim was distraught and was afraid to be alone out of fear that Dee would come back for her; neighbors came to be with her, and she also told them she was afraid to be alone in her home.
Dee has been charged with exposure of sexual organs and elder abuse without great bodily harm. He has no local criminal history. Judge Luis Bustamante set bail at $20,000.
Articles about arrests are based on reports from law enforcement agencies. The charges listed are taken from the arrest report and/or court records and are only accusations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Huh. He doesn’t look like a transwoman or a drag queen.

I believe that adults are a reflection of their parents (or lack thereof). I can only imagine (and prefer not to) their upbringing, childhood home, etc. Sadly, I doubt many if any will receive the type of help necessary while incarcerated. To be clear, I find this behavior abhorrent and these individuals should be removed from our streets and incarcerated either in prisons and/or mental institutions, and I found this interesting (found this thoughtful summary online):
“Exhibitionistic behavior, such as flashing, is categorized as a paraphilic disorder. The motivations include some common themes:
1. Desire for Shock and Reaction
Flashers often seek a reaction of shock, surprise, or discomfort from their victims. This reaction may provide them with a sense of power or control – a psychological or sexual thrill.
2. Sexual Arousal
For some exposing themselves is sexually arousing. This is linked to the risk of and taboo nature of the act. It may serve as a substitute for conventional sexual interactions or intimacy that they find challenging or unfulfilling.
3. Impulse Control Issues
It can stem from poor impulse control, in individuals with certain personality disorders. They may struggle to regulate inappropriate behaviors or act out compulsively.
4. Power Dynamics
It can be a way to assert dominance particularly if they feel powerless in other areas of their lives.
5. Psychological and Emotional Dysregulation
A symptom of deeper mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, or trauma. Sometimes an external manifestation of internal turmoil or unresolved conflicts.
6. Lack of Empathy
Some individuals may lack empathy or awareness of the distress their actions cause others. This could be due to narcissistic tendencies or other personality traits that diminish their ability to consider others’ feelings.
7. Seeking Attention
Flashers may feel isolated or invisible in their personal lives and resort to extreme behaviors to gain attention, even if it’s negative. This can stem from low self-esteem or a need to feel noticed.
While exhibitionistic behaviors may have a sexual component for some individuals, others may engage in it for reasons more psychological or emotional than explicitly sexual. The behavior is often associated with feelings of shame or guilt afterward, indicating internal conflict about their actions.
Treatment, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), can help individuals understand the underlying causes of their behavior, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and address any co-occurring mental health issues.”
** It is unusual, though not unheard of, for these flashing behaviors to escalate to violence.
“Research generally shows that exhibitionists are more likely to seek attention and reactions rather than physical contact or violence. Most individuals who engage in flashing do not have a history of violent or physically aggressive sexual offenses.”

Or treatment with a Louisville slugger can maybe change his alter flasher state.
