How to handle this before he gets into legal trouble?

I had a client who had a potty mouth and kept asking me if I wanted to do XY and Z. I was trying to walk with this client and his behavior had been over the top all that morning. I didn't want him using that type of language and allowing people to hear him talk nasty to me like that, so we cut the walk short and went back into his apartment. It's up to the discretion of the aide. In most instances, we will cut out whatever the activity at the time and redirect the client away from public spaces.

Agree with all the recommendations below -- medication from a neurologist, plus anti-strip clothing, plus consider a memory care facility (but the behavior will need to be under control there, to protect the female residents).

It may be time for him to be in care if he has access to people who don’t understand that this is a dementia (FTD?) behavior. Who is he flashing and under what circumstances? I agree antistrip clothing is a good option, too.

You can call his Doctor about medication to tone down his sex drive. You don't want him flashing some young girls and get arrested. There is medication for this problem.

You can also buy "anti-strip" clothing from Amazon in the meantime. Sorry you are dealing with this, Don't let his Doctor brush you off on this one.

Purchase anti-strip jumpsuits for people with dementia. Also called "adaptive clothing". Find on Amazon or Silverts.com

He shouldn't be going out unaccompanied. If he's with an aide or a caregiver, they might be able to prevent him from such behavior. Or maybe not. In that case, you might try special clothing that he can't unfasten.
