Man Sneaks into Home, Exposes Himself to Two Girls

The home invasion was reported at 2 a.m. Monday.

A man sneaked into a North County house through a window early Monday and exposed himself to two young girls in their bedroom before fleeing, according to police.

The victims' mother reported the home invasion in the 2300 block of Seasons Road in Oceanside shortly after 2 a.m., Lt. Leonard Mata said.

The girls, ages 5 and 7, told officers they had awoken to see the stranger fondling himself near their beds. He touched at least one of them, then climbed back out the window and fled when one of the victims protested, Mata said.
