This is the food court at the Pembroke Lakes Mall where police say Juian Lambert, 42, of Boca Raton, exposed himself and groped a 10-year-old girl.

Her older sisters yelled at the man, scaring him off.

The girls told police and he was later arrested.

Lambert was released from jail on bond, but the girl's mother is worried that he may do it again.

"This is where he hunts," she said. "He hunts on our children."
