Lenny Dykstra charged in L.A. with indecent exposure
Former New York Mets star Lenny Dykstra was charged on Thursday with exposing himself to a string of women who answered his Craigslist employment ads, Los Angeles city prosecutors said on Thursday.

The 48-year-old former World Series hero was charged with two misdemeanor counts of indecent exposure and could face six months in jail and a $1,000 fine per count if convicted, Los Angeles City Attorney's spokesman Frank Mateljan said.

Jun 6, 2011: -- Dykstra is alleged to have fraudulently leased three high-end carsfrom a Southern California auto dealership. Then, when he was arrested for the car theft, police found cocaine, ecstasy and synthetic human growth hormone in his home...(He) is going to be charged with 25 criminal counts today, unrelated to the stuff he was arrested for back in April...

April 15, 2011: -- "...The federal charges stem from a bankruptcy case that Dykstra filed on July 7, 2009," the statement said. "The criminal case filed in U.S. District Court alleges that Dykstra removed, destroyed and sold property that was part of the bankruptcy estate without the permission of the bankruptcy trustee..."

April 22, 2009: -- Without being asked, the self-styled investment master -- who, at this moment, is up to his thick neck in lawsuits -- volunteers that he's worth $60 million...On an investment Web site co-founded by...CNBC personality Jim "Mad Money" Cramer...subscribers drop $999.95 a year to get Dykstra's options picks...He drives a black Rolls Royce...and hires pilots to fly him around in his Gulfstream II jet.

..Just in the past two years, Dykstra has been the subject of at least 24 legal actions, including 18 since November. Three suits hit the courts on Jan. 29. He's been sued by publishers and print companies, by three different groups of pilots and by a Maryland-based financial and litigation consulting firm that offered expert testimony on his behalf in an earlier lawsuit. He's even been sued by a die-hard Mets fan who was the best man at his wedding 20-some years ago...

December 21, 2010: After baseball, Dykstra owned a successful chain of car washes, which he sold and parlayed his $50 million earnings into his next venture: The Players Club...a lifestyle and business venture specifically targeting professional athletes and that ended up being an epic failure. He then turned his ambitions into playing the stock market...Dykstra, who once fashioned himself as a high-flying investor and stock guru, is now mired in debt and facing numerous lawsuits accusing him of fraud and financial impropriety, but according to him, JP Morgan’s predatory lending practice is the one at fault, not him...
