Nanaimo RCMP are investigating after a man exposed himself to a nine-year-old girl at the Harbour Front.

The incident happened on August 12 on Front Street around 7 p.m.

A family was out for a walk with their two young children and were walking up the spiral staircase near the Javawocky Coffee House when they noticed a man sitting on a bench, police say.
