ECSO: Man Exposed Himself To Multiple People, Including Two Juveniles, At Adventures Perdido River

June 3, 2021

A 58-year old Cantonment man has been charged with allegedly exposing himself to five people, including two underage juveniles, at Adventures Perdido River in Cantonment.

Graig Alex Griffin was charged with two counts of felony lewd lascivious exhibition in the presence of victims under 16 and three first degree misdemeanor counts of indecent exposure.

A group of people was walking through the parking lot from the river to their car when they were approached by the owner and told they needed to pay a fee of $2 per person. The victim stated he did not understand why he was being asked to pay when they had already paid $20 to park, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

A group of four to five other males approached the victim and his party and told them they needed to leave. An argument ensued, and Giffin pulled down his swim trunks and exposed his genitals in front of a group of adults and juveniles, according to an arrest report.

Deputies reported finding Griffin intoxicated and drinking a beer. He told them he took it upon himself to assist the owner in escorting people off the property. Griffin said that after a member of the other group made a threat, he unzipped his swim trunks and stuck his fingers out. He denied exposing his genitals.

Multiple witnesses told deputies that Griffin did expose his genitals, and Griffin was taken into custody. He was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $23,000 bond.

    Oversight, there are different categories for underage people. Minority is the preferred legal term because it encompasses the full range of persons who fall into underage categories such as children, infant, juvenile, young person, pupil and so forth. Children or Child Definition: A person who has not reached the age of 14 is considered a “child of tender age”. juvenile refers to persons under the age of 17 years. Therefore, ‘juvenile’ and ‘minor’ are two different terms, an important detail in criminal cases. Some cases deal with ‘adults’ and ‘minors,’ and others deal with ‘juveniles’ and ‘adults.’.

    That place is becoming like how barineau park at the bridge used to be. The owner let’s all kind of unsavory characters and activities go on just so he can make money. Used to go there all the time. Not anymore. Been getting worse and worse.

    What would cause a person to do something like this? He said he used his finger, even if he didi that is still uncalled for and way over the line. Looks like another spot taken off the approved list for family activities.

    He said he stuck his fingers out of his pants (probably because he couldn’t find the itsie bitsie teenie weenie)

    Shame on you Griffin – a sick individual.

    Odd tactical maneuver, pulling down one’s pants during an argument. This whole story is difficult to understand. Did they get scammed for the $20 “parking”, and it was really only $2? Why were they being told to leave and by whom? I’m also hearing that many of the fish camps and boat slips in the county are being overrun with transients who burglarize vehicles while the owners are out on the water.
