SEMINOLE — A Seminole man faces two felony charges after juveniles playing basketball at a park on Christmas Eve spotted him watching pornography, sheriff’s officials said.
Mark Prutsman, 61, was arrested Jan. 5 and charged with two counts of lewd and lascivious exhibition, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies responded to Blossom Lake Park about 3:37 p.m. Dec. 24 after receiving a report that Prutsman was sitting on a bench watching pornography with his hands in his pants, the agency said. Two boys playing basketball witnessed the incident and asked another adult to call 911 because they didn’t have a phone.
Prutsman admitted to watching pornography at the park but denied touching himself, according to the sheriff’s office.
He was booked into the Pinellas County Jail. The investigation continues.
