SCHENECTADY — Complaints from the public, as well as intricately made videos from an apparent YouTube vigilante, have led to public lewdness or soliciting charges against three men arrested in Central Park, police said.

City police, with help from state police, staked out a portion of the park off Fehr Avenue Tuesday morning and witnessed two men masturbating in a public area and another man soliciting an undercover officer, police said.

The stakeout came about after complaints in recent weeks but also after police were made aware of videos posted to the YouTube video-sharing Web site by someone apparently wishing to expose the activity.

Whoever posted the videos, however, apparently never contacted police directly, police department spokesman Lt. Brian Kilcullen said. Instead, he or she simply posted the videos to YouTube, titling one "Pervert Park," and set them to music, accusing the men in the videos of being there for sex.

Kilcullen said police responded. "Any complaints made directly to us, we'll act on it," he said. "The video wasn't brought to our attention by the person who posted it."

Charged Tuesday with public lewdness, a misdemeanor

Childs and DiGirolamo are accused of masturbating near a baseball diamond while in a wooded area of the park, according to papers filed in court. Childs was arrested at 9:42 a.m., DiGirolamo at 10:18 a.m.

Also charged, but with violation-level loitering for the purpose of engaging in a prostitution offense, was 76-year-old Lazarus Coppola, of Lenox Road.

He is accused of offering to engage in oral sex with an undercover police officer, according to papers.

Coppola, Kilcullen said, resembles one of the men targeted by the video vigilante in the online videos.

The videos themselves simply show men walking and standing in the area of the baseball diamonds. Some of the men are identifiable through faces or vehicles.

The creator of the videos makes the accusations, often in a mocking manner, through subtitles. Music was also added, often corresponding to the video.
One video is a first-person shot made by the videographer showing where he or she says everything happens, even showing a men's bathroom where he or she alleges the activity takes place.

Kilcullen said police are unsure how long the activity has been going on. They were only made aware of it recently.

The dates of the videos are not included, though their content suggest they were taken last year. The user names were registered as long as five months ago. The first-person video is taken with snow on the ground.

wow you really feel strongly to make this vid... I think you secretly wanted to see or get some action....

[parkgoer]

@atomicnortherner Wow You must be a fag!

[vanyel812]

This brings new meaning to "get a life". If you really cared you would call the parks department or brought something to fill the hole instead of your creepy ass, homophobic, adolecent video. I can also tell by your AIDS comments that you are a complete ignoramous. Sad to see such fear and paranoia. *shoves some cement in the hole and calls it a day*

@vanyel812 The Parks Dept allowed the Peephole to remain in operation for at least 8 years as one such employee personally in formed me the details and history about this. No one did a thing until Johnny Q's direct involvement working with the detectives division in The Schenectady Police Dept. Although the public statement was that there was no direct contact with the police, they were advised to do a sting operation and they had followed the advice 4 months later.

@unrealvariety My post seems to have brought u face to face with your own worst fears. LOL Emotionally and psychologically, you're so sexually craven that you don't have the courage to face yourself. So you point a finger at the other guy. Like all authoritarians and homophobes you hate truth. So calling people ugly names makes you feel better about yourself. Cuz you don't wanna know it but, the truth is, "You da fag." U call urself Unreal. It gives away your sick game right there.
