Masturbator reported on city bus

By Joe Johnson

A woman reported last week that soon after boarding an Athens Transit bus near her home on International Drive she noticed that a man seated behind was staring intently, making her uncomfortable.

After several more glances the woman realized that the man was fully exposed and masturbating.

She told her male companion what was happening and when he looked the man quickly concealed himself and told the bus driver to immediately let him off.

The passengers told the driver what had happened, and she notified the police upon reaching the bus terminal.

The driver told police that she would obtain for them footage of the incident from the bus’s camera.
