A 50-year-old investment bank manager, Rogerio Miranda De Souza, faces charges for indecent exposure following two separate incidents where he allegedly exposed himself to women while driving his gray Tesla. The most recent event occurred on May 11, when police reported that Miranda De Souza followed a woman from South Miami to Pinecrest for dozens of blocks before exposing himself. The victim alerted authorities with the vehicle's license plate number.
Miranda De Souza had already been arrested on May 20 for a prior incident on May 15. In that case, he allegedly followed a woman after she left a Miami gym. A detective noted a pattern of aggressive following and lewd acts. During a court appearance on May 22, a judge noted Miranda De Souza's return on a new charge, citing a pattern of behavior and potential danger to the community.
The judge set a $25,000 bond and placed him under house arrest, allowing travel only to and from work. He is also under orders to stay away from the victim and is prohibited from contacting her. Miranda De Souza is represented by the law firm of Sam Rabin, who has stated they are investigating the matter.
