Bail Set for the Missoula Flasher

In Missoula County Justice Court on Friday, bail was was set for Cole Francisco. Missoula County Attorney Kirsten Pabst appeared for the State.

"I would ask the court to set the bail in the amount of $125,000, 25,000 for each alleged account your honor." Said Pabst, " As the court is aware, this case involves five different counts, aimed at girls between the ages of 11 and 15, it involves him loitering around bus stops and middle schools, targeting these young victims."

Pabst says Francisco is also on probation for masturbating while spying on a woman, convictions in California for gun violations, and possibly even more illegal activity.

"Additionally he has admitted to exposing himself to an unknown woman this last year on campus and has indicated that he is having an extremely difficult time stopping this behavior." Said Pabst, " His actions have clearly demonstrated a community safety risk."

Cole Francisco was arrested last Friday, and is now being held in Missoula County Detention Center.
