Police said that Chad Falcone, 49, a level 2 sex offender, exposed himself Tuesday to two women in their early 20s who were walking by his home on Dean Street. The women described the suspect as wearing a “green lacrosse-type pinnie around his waist like a diaper,” according to the report. Officers responded to the scene, but could not locate the man.
After an investigation, police issued a warrant for Falcone’s arrest. Officers arrived at Falcone’s home and saw him in the window, but he refused to answer the door, according to police. A Massachusetts State Police K-9 was requested to assist with a search of Falcone’s home. Police said they found him “cowering in the basement under some clothes and boxes.”
Falcone was taken into custody without incident, according to police.
Falcone was arraigned in Dedham District Court on two counts of open and gross lewdness, and accosting and annoying a person of the opposite sex, according to police. He was held on $10,000 cash bail. In addition, Falcone has been arraigned on similar charges on 14 prior occasions.
Falcone was out on bail prior to the incident on two open cases, and, according to police, he has failed to register as a sex offender in the past.
In the post, police questioned why Falcone, who they say has a long history of exposing himself that spans back to 1989, was allowed to integrate back into the community.
“Wondering why he’s out? So were we – but he’s not out anymore!” police wrote.
