A Glasgow man has been jailed after exposing himself to children.

According to the Glasgow Police Department, on Wednesday officers arrested 71-year-old Robert O. Grindle and charged him with two counts of first-degree sexual abuse (victims under the age of 12).

A report by WCLU.com states that police watched video surveillance of the incident.

“I observed multiple videos of an elderly male, identified as Robert Grindle, unzip his pants and expose himself in front of the children,” according to an arrest citation, the news outlet reports.

He is additionally accused of pointing to his genitals, and then “took his cane and put it between his legs and began stroking his cane in a sexual manner.” He later removed his penis from his pants “in an attempt to have the children engage in sexual contact with him,” WCLU.com reports.

Grindle was lodged in the Barren County Detention Center.
