Man arrested for Open&Gross Lewdness on Orange Line Train

On Tuesday March 19, 2013 a female contacted Transit Police to report the following: on 03/19 at approximately 3:30 pm the reporting party boarded a northbound Orange Line train at Forest Hills MBTA station. When the train arrived at Green Street Station a male boarded and sat directly across from the reporting party. Shortly thereafter the male removed his penis from his pants and began to masturbate while leering at the reporting party. The RP was able to take a photograph of the male via her cellular telephone. The male then exited at the Roxbury Crossing MBTA station.

On March 21, 2013 subsequent to an investigation Transit Police detectives did arrest Ramon Antonio Baez, 25 of Mattapan for Open & Gross Lewdness. Baez was transported to Transit Police HQ for the arrest booking process and is expected to be arraigned in West Roxbury District Court sometime today.

We would like to applaud the reporting party for having the presence of mind to obtain a photograph of Baez. Her brave action greatly assisted investigators in this case and allowed us to hold Baez accountable for his reprehensible and criminal conduct.
