Gropin' Joe would like this guy, wouldn't he?
A math instructor at the Paradise Valley Community College has been arrested for public sexual indecency.
Victor Ochkur taught algebra and calculus at three different campuses since 2004. Police say Ochkur, 42, drove his gray four-door sedan in the area of St. John and 28th Streets, pulling over to talk to a 13-year-old girl. Ochkur allegedly asked if she had a boyfriend before exposing and fondling himself.
Police say the girl ran home.
“It's terrifying as a girl, it's terrifying and also as just a student,” said a former student. "He was a teacher, you never know how far he would go with anyone else," said the former student. "I mean, if he would do that, who knows what he would be capable of?”
Ochkur appeared in court, after being arrested. He is facing a felony charge of public sexual indecency.
Police say the victim’s 10-year-old sister says Okchur tried to give her a ride home last October when he approached her. She recognized his car parked by her house Thursday morning, and called 911.
According to police, Ochkur admitted to fondling himself three to five times a month, in different public locations.
