UM student arrested for indecent exposure held on $125K bail

MISSOULA (AP) — Bail has been set at $125,000 for a 22-year-old University of Montana student accused of exposing himself to students at bus stops and elsewhere in Missoula County.

Cole Francisco, of Missoula, was arraigned Friday on five counts related to indecent exposure. Three of the counts are felonies because they were the third or subsequent offense.

Missoula County authorities began investigating reports of a man approaching teenage girls in his car and exposing himself to them. Reports began on March 10 at school bus stops west of Lolo.

Francisco was arrested this week and was being held in the Missoula County Detention Center.

His preliminary hearing is set for April 2.
