TAMPA - A 34-year-old Tampa man was arrested Tuesday on charges of lewd and lascivious behavior involving two 14-year-olds.

Eric Antonio Gibson of 308 Kenmore Road was arrested at 8 a.m. at his home after one of the victims used her cell phone camera to capture naked images of Gibson fondling himself before her on Oct. 28.

Two weeks earlier, on Oct. 13, Gibson forced one of the females onto a bed, removed her shirt and fondled her, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.

Gibson faces charges of lewd or lascivious exhibition, lewd or lascivious molestation and lewd or lascivious conduct. The victims were described by deputies as acquaintances of Gibson's and the acts occurred at his house, authorities said.
