Luis Cedeno, 29, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of indecent exposure, peeping and a violation of his parole. He was being held without bail.

Officers were called out to a home in the 1800 block of Pacific Avenue, near Pacific Coast Highway, just before 4 a.m., Long Beach police Detective Jennifer Arzola said. A preliminary investigation found that a man had peeked through a break in the blinds of a window and masturbated while the victim, a clothed 15-year-old girl, lay on her living room couch, she said.

Arzola said officers collected video evidence and arrested Cedeno at about 10:40 a.m.

Cedeno was previously convicted of indecent exposure and annoying or molesting a child under 18, according to the Megan's Law website.
