CHILD ADVOCATE EXPOSED AS PERV

Francisco Santiago, a 37 year old New Jersey man who became an advocate for child-abuse victims, has been convicted of exposing himself to two young girls at a family barbecue.  He was found guilty this week by a Westchester County Court jury of attempted sexual abuse and child endangerment.  He is free on $20,000 bail until sentencing on May 14.  He could receive up to four years in prison but State Supreme Court Justice Joseph West said he might choose a sentence of probation without prison time.
