Public Masturbation at Bus Stop in Chevy Chase: “He was fully exposed.”
Location: L8 Stop on Connecticut Ave., Chevy Chase, MD
Time: Evening Rush Hour (3:30pm-7:30pm)
I was waiting by myself at the L8 bus stop on the way home from work. Traffic on Connecticut Avenue was stop and go. A small black car pulls up, and a man 25-35 years old casually asked: “Is this the fastest way to the Beltway?” When I looked over at him, he was fully exposed and jerking off. I didn’t get the license plate or any other identifying information before he drove away, so I did not report it to the police, but I wish I had! It seems to me that he has done this before and will do it again.
