A man has been charged over an alleged sexual exposure offence in the Hunter earlier this year.
Police said in a statement on Friday that a 54-year-old woman was inside a home on Wilcox Avenue at Singleton Heights about 7pm on April 4 when she saw a man standing at a rear door allegedly committing a sexual act. The woman slammed the door and called police.
The man - Esera Vaini Felise - fled the scene on foot before officers arrived.
Detectives arrested Mr Felise, 21, at a workplace in Singleton on Thursday afternoon.
He was taken to Singleton Police Station and charged with carrying out a sexual act towards another person without consent and wilful and obscene exposure near a public place.
Mr Felise did not apply for bail when he faced Singleton Local Court on Friday. He will face court again on June 16.
