A Woodruff man was arrested Friday afternoon after Spartanburg County deputies said he molested one girl and flashed his privates at two others.

Deputies said that in January 2011 they received a report that 43-year-old Kenneth Nelson had molested a girl between 11 and 14 years old. They said that on Aug. 11, they received another report that accused Nelson of exposing himself to two girls, who were between 9 and 13 years old.

Nelson was charged with second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor and exposure of private parts in a lewd and lascivious manner. He was being held in the county jail while awaiting a bond hearing.
