GOP Candidate Quits After Cop Catches Him Masturbating Outside Preschool
A Republican running for an Arizona college district’s governing board suspended his campaign Tuesday, two weeks after he was arrested for allegedly masturbating outside a preschool at one of the colleges he was hoping to represent.
Police found candidate Randy Kaufman on Oct. 4 parked outside the child center at Rio Salado College with his pants down to his mid-thigh and “manipulating his genitals in a masturbatory manner,” according to a police report.
Kaufman was in full view of the campus’s Wirtzie’s Preschool and Child Care Center, where several preschool-aged children were playing outside, the report said.
“Seriously?” the officer said upon finding the Republican playing with himself.
“I’m sorry,” Kaufman allegedly told the officer. “I f–cked up. I’m really stressed.”
Kaufman said he was out buying rebar nearby but was so stressed out that he pulled into the lot to relieve himself without realizing what the lot was for.
The alleged pervert quit his campaign Tuesday to be on the Maricopa County Community College Governing Board after media reports detailing the arrest were circulated, 12 News reported. The panel oversees ten colleges, including the one Kaufman was caught fondling himself in.
Kaufman admitted to watching “interracial porn” and masturbating in his Ford truck, which was parked across three parking spaces, but claimed he did not realize how close he was to the preschool.
Kaufman was charged with public sexual indecency but could face a felony charge because of his proximity to the childcare center, News 12 said.
