In a shocking incident that has left the Laguna Woods community reeling, a 66-year-old local resident, identified as Robert Mario Perri, was arrested by investigators from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department on charges of indecent exposure. Perri was booked into the Orange County Jail this past Tuesday after multiple reports detailing his alarming behavior.
Perri’s alleged misdeeds have raised serious concerns within the community, particularly because the three women who filed formal reports against him are all elderly. The reports were received by the sheriff’s special victims detail this month and indicate a disturbing pattern of behavior. It’s reported that these incidents occurred both inside and outside the victims’ homes, creating an atmosphere of fear and discomfort.
Residents of the primarily gated retirement community of Laguna Woods Village are understandably on edge. The area, known for its peaceful environment and friendly community, is now grappling with the unsettling revelation that an alleged predator may have been lurking among them. Security personnel at the retirement community have noted multiple other incidents related to indecent exposure, highlighting a growing concern about the safety of residents—especially older women.
According to investigators, Perri reportedly followed his victims to their homes in a white Ford Mustang convertible. After tracking them, he allegedly returned under the cover of darkness to expose himself. Disturbingly, this type of direct targeting has shaken the community’s sense of security, underscoring a need for vigilance among residents.
Authorities, led by Lt. Matt Timmins, have indicated that Perri does not have a prior criminal record, which raises questions about what drove this sudden and troubling behavior. Investigators are now concerned that there may be additional victims who have not come forward, and they are actively encouraging anyone with further information to step up.
