Relatives of 35-year old Luis de la Hoz Michel brought him to the District Attorney, after the Police was on his trail for exhibitionist behavior in Santo Domingo. The law establishes a maximum fine of RD$5,000 and six months to a year in jail. De la Hoz’s story made the newspapers when he was denounced by Nani Martínez, press director for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, after her daughter and other adolescent friends complained of being harassed in front of Diamond Mall, an upscale shopping center on the periphery of one of Santo Domingo’s most fashionable neighborhoods. De la Hoz had stepped out of his Range Rover jeep totally naked from the waist down. He wore an unbuttoned jacket. Several employees of nearby shops responded to the girls’ screams and chased the man back to his jeep, in which he quickly sped away.
