The man behind a series of sex offenses that plagued a Virgina park where children were regularly caught creeping near the area and then trying to escape half-naked, police said.
Felix Antonio Mejias Vigil, 35, was spotted by surveillance cameras walking around Franconia Park on Thursday evening, according to the Fairfax County Police Department.
Vigil matched the description of a serial sex offender who exposed himself at the park throughout July and September, so Franconia and Mount Vernon police rushed to the scene, police said.
As Vigil tried to escape, he began to strip and throw his clothes into the woods, authorities said.
Vigil Fairfax was quickly captured with the top layer of his clothing gone.
Police believe Vigil may be behind several sex offenses, including public masturbation, that were reported at or near the park, which is home to Chessie’s Big Backyard children’s playground.

Over the summer, police recorded an incident where a man was seen masturbating in public on Telegraph Road, which is also adjacent to VHBC Preschool.
Then on July 28, a call came in about a sex offender taking “indecent liberties” with a minor at the nearby Virginia Hills Swim Club.
The sex offender also struck again twice at the same place on Telegraph Road on September 19 and 22.
Additionally, the suspect was seen masturbating in public on September 22 on Diana Lane, a short street that leads to Virginia Hills School.
Vigil was charged with two counts of indecent liberties with a child under 15, four counts of actual or simulated masturbation in public and false identification to law enforcement.
Vigil is believed to be behind a series of sex crimes that hit the area, including several schools. Fairfax County Police Department
He is being held at the Adult Detention Center without bail.
This is not the first time Fairfax County Police have had to deal with a serial sex offender who roams popular public areas where children play.
Last year, Juan Rodriguez Alfaro was arrested for terrorizing women and girls in a string of at least 21 separate assaults and sexual battery-related incidents along the Washington and Old Dominion Trail.
Alfaro was identified as an undocumented immigrant from Honduras who is also wanted in New York for assaulting a jogger.
