(BEAVERTON, Ore.) - Police say a man in Beaverton drove his car repeatedly by three 11-year old girls while masturbating this afternoon.

Sgt Dave Thompson with the Washington County Sheriff's Office says the three young girls were walking home from Cedar Park Middle School in Beaverton, when a man pulled up next to them and exposed himself.

"The girls went home and immediately reported the incident to one of the mothers who then called Sheriff's deputies," Thompson said.

The incident happened at about 3:45 PM three 11-year-old girls were walking home on SW Park Way in Beaverton. Thompson says the girls went to one of their houses and reported the incident to a parent. Washington County deputies were called to the scene at that point to interview the girls, Thompson said.

"The girls told deputies that a man started driving by them very slowly as they started walking West on SW Park Way from SW Cedar Hills Boulevard. They said that the man drove by them in each direction for a total of five times."

They told investigators that each time the man passed them he would slow down and drive next to the curb, even when he was traveling in the wrong lane.

Thompson said, "The girls said they saw the man holding his penis and they described behavior that is consistent with the man masturbating."

The man apparently did not say anything to the girls and the girls did not say anything to him. They eventually ran away and got to one of their homes.

The girls were reportedly consistent in their descriptions of the suspect and his vehicle when they offered descriptions to the police.

They said he was a man in his late teens or early twenties, he had short dark brown hair that is curly and wavy, he had a scruffy face, wore a dark colored tee shirt, and plaid dark-blue pajama bottoms or sweat pants.

He was driving a maroon four-door sedan that was very "beat up" and cluttered inside.

Sheriff's Deputies are seeking the public's help in identifying this suspect before he victimizes more children in the area.
