A Davie man named Willie King, 36, was arrested late last month after allegedly exposing himself and performing a lewd act on a Margate resident's front porch, which was captured on the homeowner's Ring security camera. King was later found asleep at a nearby park and denied being at the home, but was positively identified by the victims and charged with exposure of sexual organs, a first-degree misdemeanor.

Why it matters

This incident highlights the growing prevalence of home security cameras and their ability to capture criminal behavior, as well as the importance of prompt reporting and response by law enforcement to address public indecency and protect residents' safety and privacy.

The details

According to the Broward Sheriff's Office report, the incident began when residents were alerted by their doorbell camera to an unknown man sitting on their front porch. When the two victims opened the door, the man immediately walked away. A review of the footage revealed that King sat on a bench near the front entrance and repeatedly masturbated before being confronted by the victims and fleeing before deputies arrived. Margate police officers later found King asleep at a nearby park, and after being read his rights, he denied being at the home but was confronted with the video evidence.

• The incident occurred on the evening of March 28, 2026.
• King was arrested late on March 28, 2026.
