Connecticut Teacher Accused of Public Indecency

(New Britain, Connecticut) A 31-year-old teacher at Roosevelt Middle School, Daniel Mer, has been accused of exposing himself to a woman in public while performing a sex act on himself.

Mer was apparently tossing his salad so the woman could view it and, as a result, faces charges of public indecency and breach of peace.

Police said the woman was walking on Lake Street, near the Lake Street School, when Mer passed her in a car and then pulled onto Rosewood Drive, where he stopped.

He parked in such a way that the woman was forced to walk around his car and as she did so he opened the driver's door and stuck his left leg out of the car, according to police.

As the woman passed, she saw he was naked from the waist down and performing a sexual act on himself as he looked at her, police said.

Mer then drove up Rosewood Drive, which is a dead end, and the woman was able to get the license plate number and a description of the vehicle, according to police.

I suspect the school district may want to reconsider employing Mr. Mer as a teacher. A court appearance is scheduled for March 22.
