STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — Steamboat Springs restaurateur Marco Pauvert, 55, has been scheduled for two separate trials in the two accusations of indecent exposure leveled against him.
Pauvert was arrested Aug. 25 after a woman accused him of exposing himself to her in his downtown Steamboat Springs restaurant, The Epicurian. Since that time, another woman went to police and reported a similar incident that allegedly took place in July.
In both cases, the women allege Pauvert emerged from a rest room fully naked while they were at the restaurant.
In an e-mail, Pauvert’s attorney, Jeffery Weeden, suggested ulterior motives for the accusations against Pauvert.
“Sadly, there has also been a past history of animosity by certain members of this community towards him and his French ancestry,” Weeden wrote. Zach Fridell, Steamboat Pilot
