Arun Kumar Venugopalan, 38, was charged with one count of indecent exposure and did not enter a plea.
Police allege Mr Venugopalan exposed himself to three 14-year-old girls who were walking near a dance school on the corner of Canberra Avenue and Whyalla Street, near the Officeworks.
The court heard Mr Venugopalan works as a software engineer and was studying at a United States university via correspondence.
After allegedly exposing himself on Thursday, Mr Venugopalan was allegedly seen at the same location by one of the girls on Friday. She reported seeing him to her mother who told police.
Mr Venugopalan was then arrested on Sunday at his home.
He appeared in court in a forensic style plastic jumpsuit.
Prosecutors did not oppose bail and he was released with several conditions, including that he not approach the area near the Officeworks.
Police have asked for anyone with any further information regarding the incident to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website and quote reference number 6451601.
Mr Venugopalan will return to court at a later date.
