Registered sex offender arrested for alleged indecent exposure in South Pasadena

Valdivia, 47, was booked Thursday for indecent exposure and a parole violation after officers went to the apartment. The woman that spotted him was driving by around 1 p.m.

She positively identified Valdivia as the man she saw committing the indecent act.

At the time of his arrest, Valdivia was on parole for a drug offense and registered as a sex offender for "assault with intent to commit a specified sex offense."

Valdivia was being held without bail on a parole hold pending his arraignment in L.A. County Superior Court and was scheduled to appear in court today.

Indecent exposure is typically considered a "lesser" sex offense because it does not necessarily involve forced or nonconsensual sexual conduct, however it still leads to penalties. Some of those penalties include up to 6 months in jail, a fine of up to $1,000, and a lifetime sex offender registration.
