Omaha Man Admits To Nine Indecent Exposure Charges, Campus Masturbation

For the second time in a year-and-a-half, a Nebraska man has admitted to committing indecent exposure around women in Omaha. Dakota Schu, 21, was arrested Friday night and faces a staggering nine misdemeanor charges of indecent exposure, according to police.

The first and second incidents, in November, involved the same victim, who said Schu exposed himself to her while she was driving the second time she encountered him. Later that month, another victim reported Schu “propping himself up” in his car so she could see him masturbating in public.

In the last incident referenced in the News 6 report, Schu approached a woman walking her dog in his Jeep Grand Cherokee and did the same thing to her. This victim, Sarah Kocsis, is the only one named in the report.

“I called the Police immediately, and it is nerve-wracking a little bit, but at the same time I am madder that it happened," Kocsis told News 6 in November.

Schu apparently owned up to his actions when questioned by police. Schu actually picked up two misdemeanor charges for indecent exposure back in April 2016, also reported by News 6. Schu admitted to following women on the campus of Creighton University in Omaha while masturbating. In one case, he followed a woman to her front door, while in another, he approached a woman as she got in her car and got in front of the car before she could get away. That victim said she saw Schu go and do the same to other women after she left.

Nebraska state law categorizes indecent exposure as a Class II misdemeanor offense with a few different criteria, one of them being “exposing the genitals (with the intent to affront or alarm any person).” An indecent exposure charge is punishable by up to six months imprisonment or a fine of up to $10,000. This is not the first such case in Omaha this year, as 22-year-old Anyer Benazilla was booked for exposing himself to women on five different occasions near a high school in January, according to the Omaha World-Herald.
