Priest arrested and charged for masturbating while driving on the freeway

A Maryland Catholic priest is in a heap of trouble after was caught allegedly masturbating while driving on a highway, TheBayNet reports.

According to court filings, Reverend Jaroslaw “Jerry” Gamrot, 58, who serves at Holy Face Catholic Church and Little Flower School in Great Mills, was traveling west on Route 70 in Frederick with no pants on and was allegedly masturbating.

A victim called police after he said he was “targeted” by Gamrot, which repeatedly pulled alongside him and exposed himself three times. The victim then took a picture of Gamrot’s license plate to hand over to police.

When the license plate was run by police, Gamrot came back as the vehicle’s owner. After he was arrested, Gamrot admitted to police that he was the driver of the vehicle.

In a statement to TheBayNet, a spokesperson for the Archdiocese of Washington said Gamrot “has been placed on administrative leave and suspended from public ministry pending an investigation into alleged misconduct away from the parish and school.”

“No determination about Father Gamrot’s future will be made until the investigation is concluded,” the statement added.
