Charges of Open and Gross Lewdness Public Masturbation to be Dismissed
In December of 2021, after some frantic banging on a window and door, a woman looked out of the window and observed a man masturbating aggressively. She called the police. The responding officers obtained a description of the man and located him a block away at a bar. A show up identification was made and the man was positively identified. He was charged with open and gross lewdness under G.L. c. 272 section 16. This is a felony in Massachusetts and can serve a a predicate to an obligation to register as a sex offender. Our office had the man evaluated by a forensic psychologist whose report convinced the judge to agree with our request to impose a continuance without a finding (CWOF). All charges against the man will be dismissed in a few months provided he remains free of all criminal legal troubles.
