BATON ROUGE - A man with a history of perverse criminal charges was arrested this week after he was allegedly seen fondling himself on LSU's campus.
Arrest records say the incident happened Sept. 23 in the parking lot outside Patrick Taylor Hall near the edge of campus. A person walking past said he saw James Cousins, 72, watching a female student from his truck. The passerby told police it appeared Cousins was masturbating while he watched the student enter the building.
The witness said he couldn't see Cousins genitalia but said he could tell what was happening based on the way he was moving his arm.
Campus police checked surveillance video and were able to spot the truck, which was seen sitting in the parking lot for about nine minutes.
Once the officers identified Cousins as the owner of the truck, it was learned he'd been arrested on several obscenity charges dating back to 1981, including multiple incidents in the same parking lot.
When confronted by investigators on Oct. 1, Cousins admitted to watching women from the parking lot but denied the accusations that he fondled himself in his truck. Cousins told police that watching women was "the only thing he has left" and claimed he has a heart condition that prevented him from masturbating.
He further explained to police that he likes to sit and listen to music in his truck and that someone may have mistaken him playing "air drums" on his knees as an obscene act from afar.
Cousins was booked Friday morning on a charge of obscenity.

I gotta admit, I was going with Wild Bill Taylor on this one, but you're right, his profile really fits Pokey.

Rookie. True fans whip out their nuts and drag them on the face of a passed out fan of another team

I'm not seeing where the states case is. They have a witness that admits to not even seeing the goods.
That ain't a case worth bringing.

He’s 72. If he can still get it up let the man whack it in his truck. Sounds like they have no actual evidence in this case.

Swear on everything the following is a true story. Some girl friends and I go to the casino for a weekend semi annually. We were fed up with covid so we decided screw it and went in early September.
As we were leaving the room, heading to lobby to leave on Sunday there was a guy down the hall close to where we turned to get to the elevator. When we first noticed him he was just swaying back and forth standing there, then he turned around and we saw a few inches of tiny butt. He then turns around again and dude is playing with it in the hallway. He was in a completely different world and had no idea we even existed.
We get to the lobby and the first worker person we see is a valet. We give him a quick summary and he leads us to the phone, gives us the number for security and stands there with us while I’m talking. I start hem hawing and the valet guy goes ‘you can say it, he was jacking off’ so that’s what I told them. Not sure why but that was the most hysterical part to me.
I don’t know what happened with the guy but we did see some security folks come past us heading that way quickly.

Can't a man reminisce good times without being accused of going number 3?

him having committed lewd acts in the past isn't evidence a crime happened nor can it be presented that way by the state. It could only be used as character evidence or be used to show motive, intent, opportunity, etc. That's a pretty basic rule of evidence. It's also only admissible, under any circumstance, if its probative value outweighs any prejudicial effect. In this case, if all they have is he was in a truck with his arm moving and some prior convictions of lewd acts, it probably wouldn't be admissible as that would be extremely prejudicial without any other evidence to support the charge. Depending on the state, there are also limits on whether or not prior misdemeanors are admissible, some states have a limit as to how far back you can go, etc.
It makes for a more compelling (and hilarious) article for a reader, but it doesn't appear as if the State has a lot they can use to prosecute the guy if I'm being completely honest even though he more than likely was masturbating in his car.

You're a renowned poster on tRant and you're skittish of the words "jacking off?"
I would like to apologize for the multiple times I've probably offended you on here.
