Two Tulsa Police officers in plain clothes went to the River Parks looking for men who want to have sex with strangers inside bathrooms.

This comes after the arrest of 55 year old Thomas Stewart for indecent exposure. A 15-year-old boy says he was using the restroom when Stewart walked in an exposed himself.

Tulsa Police Sgt Rick Bondy: "Sexual activity in public bathrooms has been going on since before I was born. Now, there are web sites that list the best places and we're going to make sure this one is off that web site.â€

Tulsa Police have made a number of arrests at the bathrooms at Riverside near 41st and 56th as well as in the woods of Turkey Mountain and in Mohawk Park.

They say when the weather gets warmer, this type of illicit activity increases.
