San Diego County Sheriff's deputies released a sketch of a man wanted for inappropriately touching himself as he followed two girls home in Encinitas.
Sheriff's officials say the incident happened on Sept. 24 at about 3 p.m. on Via Cantebria. As they walked home from Oak Crest Middle School, the teens saw a driver make a U-turn so he could drive alongside them.
The man followed the girls for about five minutes with his car window down. The girls told deputies that they soon noticed the man was touching himself, though he did not expose himself or speak to them.
Finally, the girls got out their cellphones to call their parents, so the man drove off.
The suspect is described as a light-skinned man between 20 and 30 years old, standing 6-feet to 6-feet-4-inches with dark brown hair.
At the time of the incident, the man was wearing dark sunglasses, a dark brown or black shirt and blue jeans.
The girls said his car was a station wagon like the one pictured here.

When deputies searched the area, they did not find anything, so they worked with the girls to create the composite sketch.
