An Ohio city employee exposed himself and sent photos of his genitals to a co-worker as part of a "contest of private parts," according to NBC affiliate WKYC.
Eastlake building inspector Rich Vild told Channel 3 News he dropped his pants in front of two female co-workers in September in the parking lot of a night club. Vild also sent a photo of his penis to a different female colleague's cell phone.
The inspector told WKYC he regrets his "stupid" actions every day, but he said that many city hall employees were involved.
"A couple people go out and have a couple drinks and people coerce you into doing something," Vild said.
"There were other people there who were supposed to do the same thing. I left after that, so I don't know what happened."
A colleague even used one of the snapshots as a screen saver for her work computer, Vild said.
Mayor Ted Andrzejewski told WKYC he had no idea the contest was happening on city time, but said he would start checking computers for obscene photos. Vild was suspended for two days in February, but the mayor did not contact police.
Andrzejewski told Channel 3 he didn't think any laws have been broken. But according to the police chief, exposing yourself could violate public indecency laws and texting unsolicited photos of a sexual nature could constitute pandering obscenity, WKYC reported.

Oh brother.
Good grief. And this makes the news front how? Are we actually supposed to think something OTHER THAN ABSOLUTE STUPIDITY AND DRUNKENNESS is at play here? Move on people, if you think some evil employee manager is putting jobs on the line here depending on whose got the biggest/best penis and boobs, you're mistaken.
Good example of how everyone sees things differently.
An old girl friend long ago, during lunch breaks at the Red Cross she worked at,
would take part in contests.
The one I had issues with was the deep throat of the banana contest. To see who could leave teeth marks furthest down the banana, and leave the banana intact.
Seems I'm the only one that saw the sexualness of it. I was called *bad* for thinking such thoughts..
pfftttttttttttttt...lol
Jesus Christ, he went out for drinks with some co-workers, things got a little randy, and some cell pics got taken.
If you pressed charges about co-workers screwing around with each other, half the country would be in jail the morning after every holiday party.
This country needs to stop being so damn ashamed of its collective genitals. We all have them, people. Get the stick out of your bums and enjoy life a little.
Ah yes. The timeless pick-up line at the company party. " Ever seen an elephant with an afro? Want to?"
Short Stack is pissed because he LOST THE CONTEST !!!!!
I agree, but then there's the line about the mayor being unaware it happened on city time. If it happened off the clock, punish the people who put if on their computers at the office, or those who used their company cell phones. Other than that, leave it alone. If it did happen while he was on the city time, he should likely be considering other vocations if that's what he likes to get paid to do...
Where's Limbaugh? Why isn't he calling this guy a slut and a prostitute? Where's the three day tirade against this guy?
Excellent point, you should phone in during his next show!
Ok so some people haven't figured out that private parts are "private" for a reason. And people do stupid stuff under the influence. But what the hell were they doing in a nightclub during city time?
Ok Chris-629698... show em... if you got em...
How stupid can you be, now a days you just don't do something like this, didn't Brett Farve teach you anything.
Your government at work for you.
LOL
did he do the helicopter trick?
Spend my days at Children's Hospital in St. Louis giving money to parents in the emergency room and cafeteria.
...and exposing yourself...? Awkward...
Yea I get the humor, but I wouldn't want my wife working in that s..thole. Or my daughter. or my granddaughter.
Right, because they have never seen a penis and never will. You keep on protecting them from all those evil dongs trying to batter their doors down.
So you think it would be ok if your wife and daughters worked around people like that Chris? It's not so much evil as just plain stupid and stupid people can get others in bad situations, sometimes dangerous ones.
At any place I've ever worked, if you had a picture of some dude's junk on your work computer -- displayed on a screensaver for all to see, no less -- you'd be fired on the spot. This office must have been Party Central! Or maybe this Vild guy is just bragging...
I have a feeling he's going to get an eyeful!
It will be interesting to hear what the taxpayers -- not to mention the spouses of all the people who work for the city -- have to say about all this. Where's the Tea Party when you need 'em??
Maybe it was a new font for her cursor.

Some people just don't think about what they are doing. This is pretty stupid but who really cares?
These people are BORED SILLY at work! This is the building department, you know construction, there isn't any. Need to lay a couple of them off-problem solved.
Good example of the Peter principle at work.
Huh huh huh... you said "peter"...
I wish they'd STFU. GD muslims infiltrating our country and our freedom and way of life, and they're worried and reporting on some hanky panky amongst co-workers. Who the h ell wasted their time and ours on this stupid a ss article.
your racist bigotry is showing...
This is just too funny to me, the woman put the pic up as the background of her computer!!! Not only that but her work computer!! Seriously she looked at that all day every day! I wonder more about her!
Academia & Politics: Both in their "own" worlds. Half the stuff that goes on in either would NEVER work for 2 seconds in the private sector. Both have more time off, benefits, and other perks, not to mention they bitch the most about how bad they got it. Go into the private sector and try and pull that off. And plan to look for a new job tomorrow morning. No, no union to bail you out AGAIN.
if office sexual abuse, office sexual harassment, office debauchery, and after hours drunken sexual joking about that bleeds into the office hours, means being prosecuted/FIRED/charged with a crime...we have 537 people in Washington DC that should be arrested NOW.
