MIAMI – A Boca Raton man is accused of committing a lewd act at the Pembroke Lakes Mall.
On Tuesday, Pembroke Pines police said they received a call about a man exposing himself in the food court.
Officers checked the mall, but couldn’t find him. Police then received a second call about the man who not only exposed himself but also groped a girl.
Once again the area was searched, but officers didn’t find the man.
A witness and the 10-year-old girl’s sister said the man walked up and touched the girl. They said she noticed what happened and began screaming at him as he walked out of the food court.
While speaking with witnesses, police said a man matching the description of the person they were looking for was at a bus stop outside the mall.
That man, identified as 42-year-old Julian Lambert, was positively identified by two of the victims and one witness, according to police.
The mall’s surveillance video reportedly showed Lambert approaching his victims and touching the child.
Lambert has been charged with a felony count of lewd and lascivious molestation.
