NYPD Officer Accused Of Exposing Himself To 2 Girls In The Bronx
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- An off-duty NYPD officer accused of exposing himself to two young girls went before a judge on Tuesday.
Adam Fridson, 43, has been with the NYPD for nearly 13 years. The married father of two was taken into custody on Tuesday by NYPD internal affairs.
As CBS2's Alice Gainer reported, he just made his first court appearance and didn't say a word.
He's facing several charges including lewdness, exposure, and endangering the welfare of a child.
Police say surveillance video shows Fridson -- an NYPD housing officer in the Bronx.
Police said last week after he got off work, he exited a light-colored car in front of 3535 East Tremont Avenue, and approached two girls ages 7 and 12 who were on their way to bible study.
They said he exposed himself, asked fro directions to McDonalds, then took off in the car.
Officers were able to track him down because of the vehicle.
Fridson is now on modified assignment as a result of the arrest -- suspension is pending.
Bail was set at $5,000. He'll be back in court later this week.
The DA's office said they're also investigating similar allegations in the past.
