A repeat sex offender will now serve an additional three years behind bars for exposing himself to coffee shop workers and contaminating food in Northern Colorado. He was previously was caught recording women in the bathroom in California.
Stephen Masalta pleaded guilty on Friday to two misdemeanors of indecent exposure and one felony county of attempt to sexually assault a child. A Larimer County judge accepted a plea agreement which resulted in Masalta being sentenced to three years in prison. He will be given credit for nearly one year of time served in Larimer County jail.
As first reported by CBS Colorado, Masalta masturbated and ejaculated in baked goods sold at a Fort Collins Safeway grocery store. Those crimes were discovered after police arrested Masalta for exposing himself and masturbating at dozens of coffee shops across Fort Collins, Loveland and other Denver-metro area coffee shops.
This isn’t Masalta’s first time being charged with sex crimes. He was convicted for filming women and girls in a California church bathroom before moving to Colorado.
