The city of Palo Alto, CA is being overrun by perverts. At least according to the local police blotter.
Last week, local authorities said they were searching for a man accused of squeezing another man’s butt then peeking over the urinal partition in a Macy’s bathroom.
Now, Palo Alto Online reports that a man in his 30’s called the cops after allegedly glancing out his apartment window and seeing his neighbor staring back at him and frantically masturbating.
63-year-old Scott Ford Bogart (pictured) was allegedly sitting naked in front of the picture window of his fifth-floor apartment. He was looking at the man and pleasuring himself.
After the two made eye contact, Bogart allegedly turned off the lights in his apartment, then flicked them on and off repeatedly. That’s when the victim, now sufficiently terrified, dialed 9-1-1.
It was the second time in less than a week officers received complaints involving Bogart’s masturbatory practices. Two days earlier another victim reported seeing him allegedly jerking it at his window while also flicking the lights on and off.
The 63-year-old was arrested without incident and has been charged with two misdemeanor counts of indecent exposure in Santa Clara County Superior Court.

If that happened to me, I’d probably have to go in to see a psychologist. I’d be suffering from serious trauma.
And what is with the flicking the lights on and off? LOL Weird.

If you look into someone’s window and don’t like what you see, look away; close your blinds or curtains if that helps.

@Giancarlo85: I’m guessing the light flicking was like a really bad strobe light effect. Mesmerizing.

@jwtraveler: Um, actually people have been charged with indecent exposure for being naked in their homes if in clear view of the public.

@Giancarlo85: Sadly this is the case but I agree with JW in how we should respond. I am also a firm believer that do what you want as long as it does not harm another should be the law of the land and was the original intent behind much of our constitution. The idea that a person jerking in their own home can be arrested is odd at best, I would like to see some evidence of a crime, who was harmed? How? Where is the proof? Where is the victim and proof of damages please… I was upset by what I saw is an absurd defense that can be made by lots of loonies.
If none of these things other than it offended me because I find nature unnatural can be claimed than the conviction is unwarranted and immoral. The idea that we can lock people up for doing something we might not like is shaky ground to say the least. It is highly subjective and unless someone is genuinely being damaged there is no crime.
