EXPOSED! Riverwatch flasher captured after being blasted online
The Riverwatch walker known for wearing skimpy clothing and flashing his package on the parkway has been identified as a registered sex offender from Augusta with multiple stints in prison for the most perverse sex crimes.
Timothy Kevin Marcus, 58, was arrested Wednesday afternoon by the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office. He is accused of two incidents of public indecency, one on Dec. 11 on Reynolds Street and again on Jan. 6 on Riverwatch Parkway.
The official charges are public indecency – 3rd offense, a felony punishable by imprisonment for up to 5 years each. Additional charges may follow, authorities said.
Marcus has five previous convictions for similar offenses, including a 2017 incident in Columbia County when he wore a kilt on Washington Road and exposed himself. He has convictions for child molestation, peeping Tom, and multiple public indecency from other parts of the state.
In the 2017 case, Judge Michael Annis gave him a five-year sentence with the first four in confinement.
“The Sheriff’s Office is aware of the online social media footage circulating and is requesting that anyone with direct footage or additional information regarding any specific incident provide this information via email to the Sheriff’s Office,” a press release says, offering the email of pio@augustaga.gov
The man’s indecency has been posted all over social media. One resident said he was seen walking in a bodysuit pulled into a thong and exposing his buttocks with his full “wing ding on display.”
“Not a f**king care in the world,” the witness said. “Yes we called the police. Yes we gave footage. Yes others have apparently called the police before. Yes he has exposed himself to others countless times before and nothing has been done about it.”
The witness called it “terrifying.” She asked anyone walking the trails to be vigilant and aware.
WGAC’s Austin Rhodes has also blasted the man’s picture on Facebook, where he was shown both exposed from far away and with a body suit outlining his genitalia.
“In an effort to curb confusion and be consistent, I am proclaiming that until this fool is officially identified by his legal name…he shall be known as… LiL’ NUBBIN!” Rhodes told his Facebook readers and radio listeners.
Sheriff Gino Brantley expressed his appreciation, stating: “I would like to thank our media partners and the citizens who provided the critical information that allowed us to swiftly apprehend this suspect. By working together, we can accomplish so much more for the safety and well-being of the residents and visitors of Augusta-Richmond County.”
Additionally, Sheriff Brantley extended his gratitude to the dedicated men and women of the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office, saying: “I would also like to thank the men and women in our agency who ensured this arrest was carried out in a timely and professional manner.”
Marcus is currently being held at the Charles B. Webster Detention Center.
