78 year old comedic actor Fred Willard got arrested yesterday. Police say he was masturbating while watching a pornographic movie at the Tiki Theater, a XXX movie house in Los Angeles.
The news has already led to his firing by PBS, but it looks like he may not have broken any laws.
In California, it's not automatically illegal to masturbate in a public place like a movie theater - it's ONLY illegal if the act occurs within sight of people who "might be offended."
News reports say that there were only four other movie-goers in the house when cops busted Willard -- 4 patrons in a dark theater, each of them doing God knows what. It's a pretty safe bet that none of them were particularly offended.
