A 15-year-old boy told staff at the gym that a naked man had tried to enter his shower stall in the men's locker room.

Investigators said surveillance footage showed Craig Stevens Jr, 34, entering the gym and going directly to the men's locker room. Stevens used a family member's membership to get access to the gym, according to investigators.

While inside the locker room, Stevens walked to the shower stall where the teen was showering, pulled back the curtain and exposed himself, according to investigators.

The teen yelled "no" at Stevens, who replied, "I thought you said I join you," investigators said. The teen yelled no again and Stevens got dressed and left the locker room, according to investigators. 

Investigators said the teen identified Stevens in a photo lineup.

The Sheriff's Office obtained an arrest warrant for Stevens on a count of lewd or lascivious exhibition involving an offender 18 years of age or older and a victim younger than 16.

Stevens is currently in federal custody, serving a four-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to conspiracy and aggravated identity theft in a separate case.

Prosecutors said Stevens used an elderly victim's personal information and shared it with other people, who used it to access the victim's back accounts and apply for loans and credit cards.
