New Jersey man arrested for pleasuring himself while watching 'The Emoji Movie' with children at a Cinema

The Authorities in New Jersey have arrested a man who was caught performing a lewd act in the vicinity of children during a showing of “The Emoji Movie” in a Cinema.

Officers in Howell told News12 that a mother was watching the film with her children at the Xscape Movie Theater when she noticed a man sitting alone in the back row who had his hands down his unzipped pants.

When the woman reported the act to the management of the theater, the manager asked the man to leave the premises.

After the Police in Howell received a complaint of the act they released a photo of the man, described as a heavyset individual who had facial hair and was wearing a white dress shirt and black pants. 

The incident allegedly happened on July 28.

Last week, Howell police revealed that the suspect identified as Abraham Parnes, 43, turned himself into police Thursday evening after an anonymous tip led police to his identification.

Police say Parnes is a resident of Lakewood and Brooklyn. He was charged with lewdness and released on a summons.
