Irvine, Calif. (June 12, 2025) – On Tuesday, Detectives arrested 25-year-old Gavin Christian Mestas of Irvine for lewd acts that occurred at an apartment community gym.

On June 8, 2025, at about 4:32 PM, officers responded to the gym located on Murica Aisle about a man observed on a security camera exposing himself and masturbating while recording females at the pool. He was not a resident and had allegedly accessed the facility by bypassing the lock with a tool.

The man had engaged in the activity twice that day and once on June 2. It is believed that on one occasion, Mestas filmed two minors using the pool while he masturbated. Detectives quickly identified Mestas through surveillance. When Detectives served a search warrant at the man's home, evidence linking him to the crimes was found. Mestas was arrested yesterday and booked at Orange County Jail on multiple violations, including lewd acts in a public place, burglary, child annoyance, and recording a minor for sexual gratification.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact Detective Vasquez at 949-724-7223.
