Man accused of exposing himself to two young girls at T.J. Maxx

COBB COUNTY, Ga. — A man accused of pulling his pants down and exposing himself to two young girls is now banned from the premises.

Police say it happened on July 4 at a T.J. Maxx in Smyrna and that the man rubbed up against the girls' mother.

He's now in the Cobb County jail on suspicion of molestation.

According to police, the girls were ages 2 and 4 years old.

"The 4-year-old was the one that alerted my wife," the father, Jamel Hobson, told Channel 2's Matt Johnson.

Hobson is sharing his story while he's out of the country as a warning for others.

Hobson said his family was looking for kitchenware when Hobson's wife felt someone brush against her but didn't think much of it and the man left. But soon after that, a police report said her 4-year-old daughter said that man "had his private out and rubbed it" on the mother.

"We just pray it's one of those things that's erased from her memory," Hobson said.

They started to wonder if there would ever be justice until Sunday, when Smyrna police arrested Donquarious Green, 26.

Surveillance video may have led to the charges against him: child molestation and public indecency.

"Thankful that no other father, wife mother and nobody's children have to go through this," Hobson said.

The family said a manager told them the store has dealt with a similar issue in the past. They now say it's much harder to catch them with their guard down.

"Watch who you're around. You can be out with your family just shopping for kitchen stuff and something like this can happen," Hobson said.

The father was not at the store at the time but rushed over once he got a frantic phone call.

The suspect remains in the Cobb County jail on $25,000 bond.
