Camera catches sex act at McDonalds

PFLUGERVILLE, Texas (KXAN) - The father of a 5-year-old called police Saturday after he said he saw Samuel Rodriguez, 36, expose his genitals and start masturbating under a table at a Pflugerville McDonalds  while he watched children in the restaurant's play area.

Police said two children under the age of 17 were only a couple feet away from Rodriguez at the time.

Surveillance video from the McDonalds, which is off FM 685 , shows Rodriguez spitting into his hand intermittently and then placing that hand under the table in a stroking motion to sexual gratify himself, a court affidavit states.

Police said children could also be seen nearby in the video.

A court affidavit shows Rodriguez has been convicted of public lewdness and public indecency nine times in the State of New York over the past 15 years.  Rodriguez has also been convicted of sexual abuse, harassment and endangering the welfare of a child.

Rodriguez is now facing a charge of indecency with a child, a third degree felony.
