Long Valley Man Masturbated, Exposed Self At Public Pool, Police Say

LONG VALLEY, NJ — A Long Valley man was arrested this week for lewdness at a public pool in Warren County, authorities said.

On Wednesday, around 2:30 p.m., police were called to the Hackettstown Community Pool on reports of a man masturbating in the facility.

Police found the suspect, Harry R. Muller, 77, who had rolled his bathing suit up to the seam of his right leg, shortening the length of the bathing suit and exposing his penis, officials said.

Witnesses told police that Muller had also "made lewd gestures" with a child's bathing suit in the pool's bathroom.

Muller was arrested and charged with lewdness and disorderly conduct. He was later released pending a court appearance.
