SAN FERNANDO, Calif. - Former Mets outfielder Lenny Dykstra is in trouble for dropping flies -- the ones on his pants.
The former All Star was charged Thursday with two counts of indecent exposure for allegedly bearing his private parts to women who responded to help-wanted ads placed on Craigslist, the Los Angeles City Attorney said.
He faces up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine for each count if convicted.
His arraignment is set for Sept. 7.
Prosecutors said the charges stem from one report in 2009, three reports in 2010 and reports in February and April of 2011.
They said Dykstra placed ads on Craigslist requesting a personal assistant or housekeeper - then ambushed the women who responded by stripping off his clothing and saying massages would be part of the gig.
"Total garbage - never happened," the embattled baseballer said through his attorney after the purported episode in April.
The woman in that case was a married mother of six who claimed she met Dykstra for a housekeeping interview at his Encino, Calif., residence.
She told the News that Dykstra led her to a guesthouse, gave her a box of oils, disrobed and jumped on a bed.
"He said he had a lot of injuries from being an athlete and needed her to massage him as part of the job," lawyer Mauro Fiore said. "That's when she ran out."
Dykstra, 49, is in jail, facing felony cocaine and auto theft charges.
He also is accused of embezzling $400,000 from his bankrupt estate.
The former homerun hero of the 1986 World Series has pleaded not guilty in both cases.
