BELFAST, Maine — Last week, a woman finishing a walk on the cross-country trails behind the Troy Howard Middle School was shocked to spot a man engaging in a solo sex act in his Jeep in the parking lot there.
Her concerned call to the school district eventually helped police track down the man, who did confess to the act. But now officials are hoping to track down the woman, who did not leave her name and who was the sole reported witness to the man’s lewd conduct.
“We want the community at large to know we have, through video surveillance technology, determined who our suspect is. However, we don’t know who our complainant is,” Chief Mike McFadden of the Belfast Police Department said Tuesday. “We need this lady to give us the call. She’s the witness. Without her, we can’t go any further.”
The woman called the school district to report what she saw at about 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 29. She said that as she emerged from the footpath and crossed the field hockey and softball fields, she noticed the Jeep, with the man inside it. Although no students were using the fields at that time, McFadden said that the field hockey team missed the incident by about 20 minutes.
“If anybody happens to run into an unfortunate situation like this, please call police,” the chief said. “This is very definitely a police issue.”
To reach the Belfast Police Department, please call 338-2420.
She’s probably out in the bushes with her date.
What was she doing peeking in his vehicle? Unless the doors are open, a person is only visible from about mid abdomen/chest up, depending on their height.
What these creeps do is show you by moving their privates up to the window view. I was riding on a country road and a car passed me. While he passed he made sure I saw his goods.
You’re assuming he expected to see someone. She had to cross 2 fields to even get near him. It makes no mention of any other vehicles in the parking lot.
Sounds to ME like he had an urge, and made a VERY BAD decision about where to ‘scratch’ it. The fact that she didn’t even identify herself kinda gives me an even bigger impression that she was being nosy, and saw more than she expected.
Seriously, you think it’s fine for someone to get himself off in public, he was on school grounds, which are public, and think she was in the wrong because she happened to see it while she was also on public property? I would think as a parent, as your name suggests, that you would have concern for what was going on that shouldn’t have been, and less about the person who happened to see it.
When a person engages in public displays of sexual acts, they ARE hoping that someone sees them, that is their thrill. And yes, I have a background in psychology…
Did you miss the part where I said it was a VERY BAD decision? I never said I thought it was ok, YOU said that I thought it was.
Most young men have done it in public . Just did not get caught . How do you know he wanted someone to catch see him? Like he wanted to get arrested lol
agreed
Wow, if she could see his Johnson protruding above window level, he would have been so endowed that he coulld not resist having a look at himself. John Holmes would have been proudl
It may depend on the model of Jeep. Some Wranglers have “open doors”, so to speak, sort of like the orignal Army jeeps. Some Jeeps allow you to adjust your seat, not just backward and forward, but up as well.
Creepy all around.
Give the guy a break. Not like we all have not done it lol just not in public places.
There is a time and a place to burp the worm, at a school is not one of them. Sure we have all had the urge to start the skin lawnmower in public, but most of us have the restraint not to do so.
Agreed
Is burping the worm similar to flogging the bishop, choking the chicken, or yanking the yam?
In a school parking lot with young children nearby? The guy needs a few months in jail and a sex offender registry entry…….
Who said he did it in front of young children? Like you do not have children in your house?
I think it would be nice if we didn’t have to scroll past the photos from old stories to get to the comments. No wonder people have bad attitudes after having to look at Rosie O’Donnell, the “unreverend” and the woman in the dog bite photo, which is still there and just may turn my stomach worse than the aforementioned duo.
field hockey does it for me too!
The same thing happend at Beech Hill in Rockport. That is why they put up a gate………..Some guy was doing it public…….
I find the horrible comments here worse than the article. How can you all say to leave him alone or not to look? This act took place in our local school parking lot. Schools and their surroundings are suppose to be a safe place for our children.
Maybe someone slipped viagra in his drink
Holy cow! Really the man was doing a very normal act in an area nobody was at and someone appeared from a path and caught him! Let’s hang the man! Now next time park near a mall, even that would be better then a school …I’m sure he was not intending to be caught …hey I did that in highschool in the bathroom all the time lol…and was almost caught more than once…dude use a bathroom stall ..when u have the urge….lol
From the article: McFadden said that the field hockey team missed the incident by about 20 minutes.
As if he would have still been going by then. This is a man we are talking about.
a man engaging in a solo sex act in his Jeep…that’s actually a pretty broad statement, there’s alot of funky things one could do to ones self…maybe the poor women does not want to describe what she saw.
What in the world is up with Belfast???
It isn’t just Belfast, the whole world has messed up people.
Maybe the prepositional phrase is …”in Belfast?”
Perhaps the propositional phrase would have been “It’s a jeep thing, she didn’t understand”
The issue is that he did it on school grounds. That changes everything.
I guess we’ll have to close school parking lots, not just rest areas.
When I was very young my grandmother and I came upon two men in the woods “doing it” My grandmother said “look the other way. I did, and always have.
What on earth is a “solo sex act”? I thought sex, by definition, involved at least two people.
Lets ask Bill Clinton….
Maybe he had that modern medical condition that lasts for 4 hours and he couldn’t call his doctor.
she could have been a tall person…….. Or maybe she just felt socially responsible to out the pervert that was potentially to close to children!
