FOUNTAIN VALLEY – A 39-year-old Fountain Valley man is behind bars today after he was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of publicly masturbating at Fountain Valley High School while watching a girls cross country team stretch and do calisthenics.

Hoang Hong Nguyen was charged today with misdemeanor for indecent exposure, annoying or molesting a child, disturbing school activities, and falsely identifying himself to a police officer.

Nguyen has been in jail since the arrest, unable to post a $500 bond.
A janitor spotted Nguyen exposing and touching himself while watching the cross-country team, Fountain Valley police said.
The janitor made a citizen's arrest, tackling Nguyen and sitting on him until police arrived.

Officers interviewed all of the girls on the team, and none of them saw Nguyen or were contacted by him, police said.
Nguyen told police that he had come to the school to play soccer, and admitted exposing and touching himself, saying he had an itch he had to scratch, police said.
