Sex Offender Caught Nude, Hanging Halloween Decorations
A registered sexual offender is being held in the Lorain County Jail, on charges that he exposed himself to two teenage girls on Monday.
Matthew Trakas, 41, is facing two counts of public indecency. Trakas was arrested after the girls told investigators the registered sexual predator was completely naked in his doorway while putting up Halloween decorations. Trakas lives across the street from St. Mary's Catholic School and was in full view of the school.
Trakas' home on Fourth Street in Elyria is decorated for Halloween, but for parents and children living in the surrounding neighborhood, the most frightening thing about the house is what they are learning about the man who put up the decorations.
A neighbor who asked that she not be identified, tells Fox 8 News, "he is very kid friendly and that is weird for a single guy all by himself, I guess when you start breaking it down, it starts to look a little odd."
Investigators concede he never should have been allowed in the neighborhood.
It seems that nearly all of his neighbors were unaware that Trakas was a registered sexual offender as the result of a 1993 assault on a four-year-old girl.
That is the same age as the daughter of one of Trakas' current neighbors, a little girl he tried to befriend.
The child's mother, who also did not want to be identified, says "I'm extremely scared. Somebody that nice and that polite, that you would never think that about, could actually be the one you should be scared of. You know you're talking to him every day and you probably shouldn't have."
