North Carolina teen arrested for prowling neighborhood half-naked

CLAYTON, N.C. (WGHP) -- A Clayton teen has been identified as the half-naked man seen on multiple videos prowling the Riverwood Athletic Club neighborhood back in December 2019, officials announced Jan. 9, according to WNCN.

Carlos Antonio Soto, 18, is charged with indecent exposure in connection with the bizarre incidents caught on camera in early December.

Home security video captured Soto walking around homes along Huston Lane on Dec. 6 and 7. He was captured on camera walking across driveways and near front and back doors. He was half-naked in some of the incidents.

In March 2018, Soto was charged with misdemeanor indecent exposure after a victim reported him masturbating outside a window of the Riverwood Athletic Club gymnasium, Clayton police said.

Police said the adult woman reported that she was working out on March 12 when she noticed a figure outside the window who appeared to be touching his groin area. The suspect moved closer to the glass and the victim could clearly see his genitalia.

Soto's arrest warrant for the December incident lists “DON'T RUN AROUND NAKED” as a condition of his release.

Soto was arrested and given a $1,000 secured bond on the charge. He is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 10.
