Police charge man in exposure incident

We have charged a Calgary man who is believed to have exposed himself to two young girls at a school in the southwest community of Palliser earlier this week.

On Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at approximately 12:40 p.m., two students at Nellie McClung School, located at 2315 Palliser Drive S.W., noticed a man acting suspiciously near the school before he entered a treed area and exposed himself while looking in the direction of the girls.

The students immediately reported the incident to school staff who called police.

After speaking with the students and school staff, police obtained a detailed physical description of the suspect and began investigating. Officers were able to obtain CCTV from a nearby residence, which led to the identification of the suspect.

The next day, on Thursday, April 3, 2025, police located and arrested the suspect, who was found near the school.

As a result, Alejandro Jose CERVERA-MARIN, 26, is charged with two counts of indecent exposure to persons under the age of 16, two counts of criminal harassment and one count of intimidation. He is also charged under the Education Act with one count each of loitering or trespassing on school property and conduct detrimental to safe operation of a school.

CERVERA-MARIN will next appear in court on Tuesday, May 20, 2025.

We would like to thank the students and school staff for their quick action in reporting the incident, and the public for helping officers advance the investigation.

“Indecent acts are traumatizing to anyone, especially young children,” says Sergeant Trent Barker-Petersen of the Calgary Police Service. “We recognize that it can be difficult to report such acts, and we are thankful that the students came forward. This is a criminal offence and there is zero tolerance for such highly inappropriate behaviour in our community.”
