An Elk Grove Village man is charged with multiple felonies after police said he exposed his genitals and touched juveniles July 23 at the Raging Waves Waterpark in Yorkville.

Pusateri also was charged with one count of public indecency, a Class A misdemeanor, and one count of disorderly conduct, a Class C misdemeanor.

Yorkville police responded about 4:54 p.m. July 23 to the waterpark, 4000 N. Bridge St. (Route 47), for a report of a man behaving strangely.
