Masalta first came under the radar of law enforcement last month when he was apprehended on charges related to public masturbation outside various businesses, including coffee shops, in the Fort Collins area. However, the investigation took a turn when authorities executed a search warrant at Masalta's residence, unearthing incriminating video evidence stored on electronic devices.
What Was On The Footage?
The footage reportedly depicts Masalta indulging in lewd behavior, including masturbating onto fruits, vegetables, and baked goods within the confines of a local Safeway supermarket, where he had been employed until recently.
