After he reportedly carried out a sex act and exposed himself in view of other passengers on a flight from Houston, Texas, to Miami, Florida, on March 26, 2009, Crespo was investigated by the Miami-Dade Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). On his arrival, he was interviewed but no charges were made, and no arrests were made. Crespo reportedly said, "I don't recall doing this." When approached by police at the airport about the allegations, Crespo replied, "I don't recall doing this."
