Edmonton police say they have arrested a 28-year-old man just two days after he was released from jail, where he spent time after being convicted of performing indecent acts.

David Adams was convicted in February and served jail time for two counts of indecent acts after he was found masturbating in a vehicle while following female students at the U of A and NAIT campuses.

Adams was released on April 14. In a news release issued Wednesday, police said Adams was arrested in connection with an investigation into reports that a man “approached female youths, reportedly attempting to talk to them while following them.”
