A shocking incident occurred in the Truxton Circle neighborhood, near Dunbar High School, where a man was caught on security camera performing a sexual act with a cucumber in a homeowner’s driveway. The police are now investigating the public indecency after the footage surfaced online.
Incident Details
The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) stated that the incident took place at approximately 5:30 p.m. on Friday, September 6. The homeowner, Catherine Baker, shared the video online after being disturbed by what her security camera had captured. Baker posted the footage on Reddit in hopes of helping authorities identify the man involved in the act and to raise awareness for her neighbors and students.
“I was so disgusted and freaked out,” said Baker after watching the video. The man, holding what appeared to be a lunch box, entered her driveway and positioned a cucumber in the grille of her SUV. He then used the cucumber in a disturbing sexual act, which was caught on camera.
Shocking Public Act Caught on Camera
In the footage, the man is seen cautiously checking his surroundings before turning his back to the SUV and inserting the cucumber into his body. He continued the act even after noticing the security camera.
“It was the eye contact with the camera that really unsettled me,” Baker added. The man then placed the cucumber back in his lunchbox and walked away through a nearby alley.
Concerns Over Public Safety
This alarming act of indecent exposure has caused concern for many residents in the area, especially since the incident occurred close to Dunbar High School. Baker voiced her fears for the local community and urged parents to stay vigilant.
“There are a lot of children in this neighborhood, from elementary to high school. We all need to be aware of this kind of behavior,” she said.
Legal and Police Action
The MPD is actively investigating the incident under D.C.’s indecent exposure law, which makes public acts of sexual penetration for gratification illegal. Offenders can face a fine of up to $300, up to 90 days in prison, or both.
Safe Passage Ambassador Vinnia Narh, speaking to DC News Now, also emphasized the importance of protecting the neighborhood: “This is a family-friendly area with kids walking around, so it’s crucial we get this person off the streets,” she said.
