Merlo Police Arrest 38-Year-Old in Bakery Harassment of 7-Year-Old

A psychiatric evaluation found the detainee understands his actions, which could speed prosecutorial steps.

Overview

  • The suspect, identified as Leonardo Fabio Jarzynski, 38, was taken into custody Tuesday at his home on Camino de la Rivera 752 after an intensive search.
  • The encounter, recorded by the bakery’s security cameras Friday at Filiberto and Toay in the Pompeya area of Merlo, shows a man approaching the girl before a worker led her to safety.
  • Minutes later on the street, police say he lowered his pants and exposed himself to a woman who was walking by.
  • A psychiatric exam ordered by the Ministerio Público Fiscal found Jarzynski oriented in time and place and aware of his acts.
  • The investigation is now with the Merlo police station and the Morón prosecutor’s office UFI No. 4, and no court date or formal charges have been reported.
