Madison police arrested a 32-year-old registered sex offender Thursday for disorderly conduct after a number of incidents of indecent exposure at the State Street Capitol Garage.
Multiple women told police that the suspect, Jonathon J. James, engaged in lewd behavior beginning Oct. 6; one victim saw James masturbating while viewing pornography at the parking garage on the 200 block of North Carroll Street, according an incident report by Madison Police Department Public Information Officer Joel DeSpain.
Other women said the suspect would stare them down inside the garage, and in some cases left pornographic images on their cars.
James is also known as Joshua J. Noone. He told police he changed his name when he came to Wisconsin two years ago, according to the incident report.
In 2011, James, under the name Noone, was arrested on similar charges of public indecency in Illinois, where he was registered as a sex offender.
Police arrested James last Thursday outside the Madison Public Library’s downtown branch.
