OAKLAND PARK, Fla. – A 41-year-old man was arrested after deputies say he masturbated in front of children at a Greek restaurant in Oakland Park last month.

According to the Broward Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to the Great Greek Mediterranean Restaurant, located at 753 E. Commercial Blvd., after receiving a call that someone was conducting “lewd and lascivious behaviors” around 2:10 p.m. on May 11.

BSO said a child, whose age was not released, saw Skylar Frederick James Nightingale, of West Park, exposing his penis and masturbating while staring at her and another person intentionally in an attempt to get their attention.

The victim told deputies that Nightingale sat at the table outside of the restaurant, and stared at her through the glass windows while she and her family were at the register placing an order, according to the report.

As the victim and her family went to sit at a table inside the restaurant to wait for their order, deputies said Nightingale moved to another chair to “have a better view” of the girls, the report stated.

The victim told detectives that she saw Nightingale staring at her with his penis exposed and saw him masturbating, investigators said.

A girl, whose age was also not released in the arrest report, said she was with the victim at the time of the incident but did not see Nightingale expose his penis to her.

Nightingale’s arrest report states he had two previous convictions of indecent exposure in Broward and Palm Beach counties.

Jail records show he is facing two counts each of lewd and lascivious conduct on a minor and exposure of sexual organs.

As of Tuesday, he is being held at the Broward Main Jail, where his bond has not yet been determined.
