The convicted sex offender who was caught wanking in a bus stop last week has been charged with felony indecent exposure. He’s still held in the King County Jail on bail of $100,000.
According to court documents, the suspect, David Craig Martin, was released from prison in February of this year after his 2001 conviction for third degree child molestation. He also has several other convictions from the late 90s for indecent exposure and inappropriate communication with a minor.
Martin told police during his arrest last week that he had no memory of masturbating in the bus stop, saying he was “sitting there waiting for the bus, and then the police showed up.” When told that a woman had seen him engaged in the act, he said he “wouldn’t be surprised” since “it’s happened before.” In addition to the positive ID from the witness, police found the suspect equipped with Vaseline-brand hand cream and noticeably greasy hands.
Martin is a registered sex offender, and his rapid recidivism since his February release from prison was cited by prosecutors as justification for the $100,000 bail amount. He next faces a June 1st arraignment hearing in King County Superior Court.
I totally did not need to hear about the Vaseline.
I love CD News and most of the irreverent descriptions of actions related to us from the police scanner. The “puppet show” entries have always bugged me though and this guy is an example of why. He has priors for molestation of a minor among other things. His “puppet shows” are part of a sick, destructive package. I don’t have a better euphemism to offer up but there must be something.
Why is he released here? How many more and where? Near schools?
What is the percentage released in the CD verses other parts of the city, specifically north of the ship canal?
Are we a dumping ground?
We need to know!
I don’t want to live in a bubble – thanks to Scott for keeping us informed so we that are aware and can be appropriately cautious and act to protect ourselves and our children.

However serious the problems behind people like this are, public masturbation is inherently absurd, uncomfortable and funny. I like the jaunty irreverance.

In looking at “kjazz’s” KCSO sex offender hyperlink, Martin’s listed address is in the 12000 block of Aurora Av N, which is along the strip of seedy motels on Aurora. If he was offending up in the Capitol Hill/CD area, he probably goes there for treatment, I’m guessing at Sound Mental Health, which is right near the bus shelter where the other exposer incidents occured. Either way, he’s in jail for the time being.
No, sex offenders are not funny, but I submit the “kill them all” attitude is also a sign of sickness.
“MH” SO YU REALLY THINK YOU CAN TREAT A CHILD MOLESTER TO NOT DO IT AGAIN!!!! YOU ARE BLOODY WRONG!!! DO U EVEN HAVE ANY KIDS OF YOUR OWN!!! IF YOU DID I THINK YOU WILL CHANGE YOUR MIND ASAP!
Personally, I find this phrase very funny and it serves to lighten up an otherwise disgusting act. :O)
Probably because he misses his even bigger pervy friends back in the slammer and knows he’ll be seeing them again soon.
