Big Pine man charged with exposing himself on the beach

Sheriff’s detectives charged a Big Pine Key man Thursday with exposing himself and fondling himself at Coco Plum Beach in Marathon Thursday.

In response to complaints about nudity and inappropriate sexual acts in public in the area, detectives were at Coco Plum Beach Thursday afternoon when they saw 51 year old Guy Lovering lying on the beach wearing only a straw hat on his head. A short time later, they observed him fondling himself.

Lovering was charged with exposure of sexual organs and was issued a notice to appear in court on the charge.
