Man charged with open and gross lewdness with a column at a T stop
By adamg - 4/1/09 - 10:37 am
Transit Police report arresting a Quincy man on charges he used a column at the Haymarket Orange Line stop to help pleasure himself last night as a woman watched on in horror from the other side of the tracks.
Police say they were called to the station around 9:45 p.m. after the woman, on the northbound side, allegedly spotted Richard Mullaney, 41, first exposing himself, then using a silver support column on the southbound platform for more than just support:
The victim stated she could clearly see R. Mullaney's penis and genitals hanging outside his pants, his hands at his sides. R. Mullaney Jr. was looking at her as he was rocking back and forth, rubbing his penis and genitals against the support column. The victim was so "shocked and alarmed" by this behavior she immediately went to the lobby and [asked a customer service agent to summon police].
Transit Police say Mullaney is a level-1 sex offender, which means the state considers him "a low risk of recidivism and degree of dangerousness."
Transit Police report on the incident.
Innocent, etc.

So, did it turn out to be a load-bearing column?
If it wasn't before...

It was a Ionic column.
I believe classic Roman

I believe classic Roman columns included Ionic, Doric, and Phallic.
Of course I meant Greek

Of course I meant Greek columns. Silly me!

Was the woman horrified because:
1) He was masturbating in public?
2) The silve pole was bigger than his own?
3) It was the first time she had seen a real penis in person?
4) All of the above.
Shocked and alarmed
By adamg - 4/1/09 - 4:08 pm
The police report uses that specific phrase, because the Supreme Judicial Court has ruled that absent said shock and alarm, the behavior may not be considered illegal. This is why, if you want to dance naked in Harvard Square, you first have to notify the public so that people who might be shocked and alarmed can find some other place to be.
Excuse me, ma'am?

"OK, white male...blue trousers...one more thing: are you shocked and/or alarmed? OK, ma'am, we'll take a report. Thanks."

richard mullaney is a danger to the public!

The listing of him as a level 1 sex offender is BS! "a low risk of recidivism and degree of dangerousness." I don't think so. he did the same thing to a friend of mine years ago and I am sure he has gotten away with many times since. he should be locked up!
I got some slow friends, but
