The Suffolk County Police Department First Squad Detectives have arrested a 39-year-old North Babylon man for public lewdness after one of his victims located his picture on the New York State Sex Offender website.

On Sunday, July 16, 2006 at about 10:00 p.m., two female victims, age 20 and 21, were sitting in a vehicle parked on Sheffield Avenue, West Babylon when a naked male exited the woods nearby and began to masturbate in front of them. He then fled on a bicycle.

On July 18, 2006 the 20 year old victim went on her computer and ascertained the website for New York sex offenders. She searched via zip codes and recognized the photo of one of the offenders as the individual who had committed the lewd act on July 16, 2006.

The victim and her father drove past the residence of the suspect that was listed on the sex offender registry, observed him in the yard and called police.

Arrested was Patrick Oliveri, age 39, of 214 Montgomery Avenue North Babylon, a registered level 2 sex offender. He was charged with Public Lewdness and was arraigned today July 19, 2006 in First District Court, Central Islip. The investigation is continuing.
