What do ya know, an old pervert with the same name as a little green frog. It ain’t easy being green!
There is nothing to indicate that he is senile. He wasn’t being absent minded or forgetful, he exposed himself to children. He was treated the way anyone would be in this situation.
This must be some kind of a joke! Why was this guy arrested and taken to jail? He should have been taken to a hospital to be evaluated.
Jackie Coogan {Uncle Fester} was once taken to jail when he walked out of a store without paying. He was handcuffed and treated like a common criminal. He was traumatized because he was very old and had memory lapses. By the way, that store has long been out of business!
This man is obviously senile. Why treat him like a sexual preditor? He is NOT.
