Police arrested a Rochester man on public lewdness charges following an incident over the weekend in Ontario County.

A customer spotted 73-year-old Rex Ahrens allegedly masturbating in the golf aisle at Dick’s House of Sport at Eastview Mall in Victor Saturday afternoon.

Following his arrest, Ahrens was released on an appearance ticket for Victor Town Court.

The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
