Republican West Virginia State Senator Mike Maroney was arrested this week and charged with indecent exposure after he was seen performing what local news station WTRF describes as "an overt act of self-gratification" in public.

Marshall County Prosecutor Joe Canestraro tells WTRF that a criminal complaint has now been filed against Maroney related to an alleged incident that took place at a local gaming parlor.

"The Glendale Police Department received a call from two female employees at a local gaming parlor about a man that was committing an overt act of sexual gratification in the gaming parlor," Canestraro explained. "Chief Vogler responded at that location and found Michael Moroney in the gaming room alone and was identified by the females just as the person that they saw on the surveillance video."

At least I think that is what is meant as "an overt act of self gratification." I mean it COULD be inducing a sneeze with a toothpick but I don't think that would be illegal. Maybe Mikey misunderstood the meaning of "gaming parlor"?

Oh the humanity! What do we tell the children?
