Woman Tells Police Man Showed Her Lewd Videos in Public Park
Three videos were shown to a 28-year-old Hoboken woman on Wednesday around 9 o'clock.

One Hoboken woman saw a little more than she bargained for when she went for a walk in the park at Fourth and Hudson Streets on Wednesday morning.
The woman, 28, told police she was walking her dog in the park around 9 a.m. when a man, whom she knows and has walked her dog before, showed her vulgar videos in which he exposed himself.
The woman told police she believes the man lives in Marine View Plaza and that she had run into him before.

When she ran into the man on Wednesday morning, police said, the man was watching videos on his iPhone and asked the woman if she wanted to see them too.
He first asked her if she was over 21, police said, and then showed her three separate 5-10 second videos.

The first video, police said, was one of a man wearing a towel around his waist and a t-shirt with lewd text. In the video the towel was then removed, showing a red heart shaped balloon with the writing "I love you" on it, police said.
In the second video, the same man was rubbing his groin area through a t-shirt, police said.
When the woman saw the third video she recognized the man in the video as the man she was talking to—and had employed as her dog walker for about three years—recognizing him by his white beard, police said.
In the third video, the man exposed his private parts and the man was seen touching himself.
Once the woman saw this, she immediately handed the phone back to the man, she told police. She told police that she was "very confused."
She said she had seen the man's private parts before, when he was in the dog park, wearing very short denim cutoffs. She said she chose to leave the dog park then.
After talking to her husband on Wednesday, the woman decided to tell the police about the man. She didn't sign a complaint.
No arrests were made.
