The Minnesota man who masturbated into the coffee cup of a co-worker he had a crush on pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of indecent exposure on Thursday.

On August 26, a woman working at Beisswenger’s hardware store in New Brighton contacted police to report a co-worker—later identified as Robert John Lind—who she claimed was leaving some sort of bodily fluid on her desk and in her coffee. From WCCO:

She told police that she had found Lind standing at her desk with his back turned toward her. Lind allegedly had both of his hands in front of him near his genitals.

According to the original complaint, when Lind noticed the woman he looked at her with a “deer in headlights” expression and quickly went into another room.

The woman told police she inspected her desk and noticed a strong odor that resembled urine, but was a bit different and strange.

She said her coffee smelled the same way and noted that she had had an ongoing issue with a experiencing a foul taste in her coffee.

Two days later, Lind confessed to jerking off onto his co-workers desk a total of four times and into her coffee twice. While confessing, Lind reportedly told police that he’s had a crush on the woman and that the masturbation was in revenge for the woman threatening to report his prior inappropriate behavior, which included approaching her multiple times with his zipper down.

Felony charges against Lind were dropped in November, when the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office determined there was not enough probable cause to support a specific definition of “sexual contact.”

“Unfortunately, there are no other applicable felony charges that we can file at this time,” a spokesperson for the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office told WCCO.
