An El Camino College student was arrested in connection with two indecent exposure incidents that occurred at the Arts Complex on Wednesday, Feb. 26 and Thursday, Feb. 28.
The first incident occurred inside the building at 5:45 p.m., while the second incident occurred at the building’s patio at 8:44 a.m. Both incidents were reported by students.
The student, Marvin Christian Hill, 26, was initially arrested for the second incident and later linked to both crimes on Thursday, March 13, according to the El Camino College Police Department.
A campus safety advisory was sent out via email to the entire campus community Thursday, March 13, after an earlier email which was sent Saturday, March 8 had only reached part of the campus community due to an email system issue.
ECCPD Police Chief Matthew Vander Horck said that detective Oscar Castro confirmed the suspect was connected to both incidents and will be charged for both crimes by the district attorney at his next hearing.
