OCEAN CITY — On Aug. 9 at approximately 3:10 p.m., police responded to the 3600-block of the beach for a lewdness investigation.
A family sitting on the beach had observed a man – identified as Ralph H. Messer, of Collegeville, Pa. – exposing himself to people on the beach.
The family notified lifeguards who detained Messer until police arrived.
Investigation revealed that Messer, 73, intentionally exposed his genitals knowing that other persons on the beach would observe his actions, police said.
He was charged with lewdness and released on a summons.

This poor ripe scam bag is probably senile or something, at least I hope that’s the case for his sake. I also feel bad for those poor people on the beach that had to see his wrinkly nether-regions.
