Jail time for fast food flasher
The man who exposed himself to a mother and her teenage daughter while they were waiting for their food at the Sonoma McDonald’s has been convicted of indecent exposure.
Richard Garcia, 55, of Sonoma, was sentenced Friday to five months in jail for the November 2009 incident. He also received three years probation and will be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, according to a statement by the district attorney’s office.
“This conviction should serve as a serious reminder that there are lifelong consequences for this reprehensible conduct,” stated Assistant District Attorney Diana Gomez. “No one, least of all a mother and her daughter going about their business, should be exposed to this behavior.”
