FENTON, Mo. — A St. Louis County jury on Wednesday indicted a man for sexually harassing teenage girls in the parking lot of a Fenton shopping center.
According to the probable cause statement, 34-year-old Nicholas Kolodgie of St. Louis followed the girls in a Gravois Bluffs Plaza parking lot on June 26 and asked them to watch him masturbate, inflicting emotional distress on the teens.
Kolodgie was indicted Wednesday for first-degree harassment. He was being held on a $50,000 cash-only bond.
Investigators believe Kolodgie may have engaged in similar behavior before the incident in Fenton. Anyone with information was asked to contact the St. Louis County Police Department at 636-529-8210.
