AUGUSTA, Ga. — A Georgia college math associate professor has been charged with public indecency after an officer reported seeing him exposing himself on campus grounds.
A maintenance worker at Augusta University reported to campus police “suspicious” activity at Allgood Hall on the afternoon of July 10, WRDW-TV reported.
When police arrived to the third floor math lounge, an officer reportedly found John Sligar, an associate professor, sitting behind a desk and watching a pornographic video.
His pants were unzipped and pulled down, according to the police report. WRDW-TV reported that Sligar told the officer he was not watching a video involving a minor and denied exposing himself.
