TMZ <\/em>\u2014 reported on Monty Lopez\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\nThe arrest is not new. This just happens to be the first that we\u2019re hearing of it.<\/p>\n
It took place on July 27, 2025 in Louisiana.<\/p>\n
And the arrest itself stemmed from an alleged incident on August 31, 2024.<\/p>\n
Exposing oneself in public can mean many things. What do authorities accuse Lopez of doing?<\/p>\n
According to Lafayette Parish Sheriff\u2019s Office, 50-year-old Manolito Juan Lopez \u201cintentionally\u201d exposed himself.<\/p>\n
They allege that he exposed \u201chis genitals, pubic hair, in a public place or place open to public view, or in any prison or jail.\u201d<\/p>\n
The allegation continues: \u201cWith the intent of arousing sexual desire or which appealed to the prurient interest or was patently offensive.\u201d<\/p>\n
That sounds like a textbook definition of the charge.<\/p>\n
The charges are a felony and a sex crime.<\/p>\nAddison Rae attends Tristar Pictures\u2019 \u201cThanksgiving\u201d LA Fan Screening at Vista Theatre on November 14, 2023.

On September 2, 2025, an arraignment hearing took place.<\/p>\n
There, Lopez entered a plea of not guilty.<\/p>\n
He has an upcoming court appearance at a March 19 hearing.<\/p>\n
That is a full year and a half after-the-fact of the alleged incident, and it certainly won\u2019t be the end of it.<\/p>\n
Obviously, there are numerous details that we do not know.<\/p>\n
Indecent exposure is complex, because exposing one\u2019s genitals can range from a budding sexual predator building up confidence to escalate their crimes all the way to a total accident.<\/p>\n
Someone going to urinate while camping and rounding the wrong tree could accidentally expose themselves to someone. So, too, could someone who gets drunk and passes out in a public area (especially after similarly using the bathroom).<\/p>\n
Victims of indecent exposure can range from concerned citizens who report someone who simply seems unwell to people who fear for their safety to children who have no context<\/em> for what an adult has just done to them.<\/p>\nAll that we know about Lopez\u2019s charges is that police claim that his alleged exposure was intentional. Whether that\u2019s true and what his intentions may have been, are another story.<\/p>\nAddison Rae attends KIIS FM\u2019s iHeartRadio Jingle Ball 2024 Presented By Capital One at Intuit Dome on December 06, 2024.

However, following his and Eastering\u2019s second divorce (yes, they reconnected for some reason in 2017), they are locked in a custody battle over Addison\u2019s younger brother, born in 2013.<\/p>\n
In her filing, TMZ <\/em>reports<\/a>, Eastering describes numerous instances of abuse, including him allegedly hitting her, multiple incidents of him cutting off her ability to breathe, and at least once allegation of him hitting Addison when she was a child. <\/p>\nDeeply evil stuff, if true.<\/p>\n
One legal battle tends to expose others. Eastering describes Lopez as having alleged problems with alcohol. If true, we don\u2019t yet know if that played a role in the arrest.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
