Florida man exposed himself to girl, 8, at a dentist’s office, cops say

A Lutz man is facing charges after he showed his genitals to an 8-year-old girl, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.

The incident occurred Wednesday at a dental office on Sligh Avenue in Tampa, where Christian T. Stark and the girl were in a solitary dental room watching television, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.

The girl was sitting in the dental chair when Stark, 20, waited until the dental assistant walked away and entered the room, asking the girl what she was watching, according to the sheriff’s office.

The girl didn’t answer, and Stark walked closer to her and said, “Look.” Stark unzipped his pants, pulled them down and showed the girl his genitals, the sheriff’s office said.

Dental staff was alerted to the incident when the girl ran from the room in fear, according to the sheriff’s office.

Stark was arrested without incident at the dental office and was taken to the Hillsborough County Jail. He is charged with lewd and lascivious behavior exhibition.

Stark was not an employee of the dental office, the sheriff’s office said.
