The Nassau County Police Department’s Third Squad detectives arrested a Westbury man for multiple incidents of public lewdness that occurred in February through May.
According to detectives, Jeffrey Lichtenberger, 43, on five separate occasions, purposely exposed himself while standing in an area where he was witnessed by the victims. Four of the incidents occurred while he was outside of the Hilton Garden Inn, which is located at 1575 Privado Rd. in Westbury and one incident occurring outside of the Hyatt Place, which is located at 5 North Ave., in East Garden City. During one of the incidents, his actions were observed by two 15-year-old female victims.
An investigation by detectives led them to the identity and location of Lichtenberger where he was subsequently placed under arrest without incident.
Lichtenberger is charged with six counts of public lewdness and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. He was arraigned in First District Court in Hempstead last week.
Detectives request anyone who believes they may have been a victim of Lichtenberger’s actions should call 516-573-6353 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous.
