Clinton Monroe Ellis-Gilmore, a 53-year-old member of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, an organization known for its anti-Christian stance and drag-nun performances, was arrested in Humboldt County, California, last month.
Ellis-Gilmore was reportedly apprehended for public indecency, specifically for engaging in an act of public masturbation that lasted approximately an hour.
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a group that has previously received recognition from figures such as Scott Wiener and the Los Angeles Dodgers, found itself in the spotlight for an entirely different reason following Ellis-Gilmore's arrest. The details of the incident were disclosed in a sheriffs office report obtained by The Daily Wire.
The report stated, According to numerous witnesses, Ellis-Gilmore had been at that location for approximately one hour, sitting in his truck with the door open, masturbating. The incident, which occurred around 6:41 p.m. on August 12, was not directed at anyone in particular, according to the report.
Ellis-Gilmore was apprehended at Table Bluff County Park in Loleta, California. At the time of his arrest, he was reportedly shirtless. One witness, Randy Fleek, commented on the incident, saying, Well this is messed up. Its obvious. You cannot help but see this guy, hes not hiding it. He wants everyone to see what hes doing.
Fleek further noted that Ellis-Gilmore began the act fully clothed, gradually disrobing as time passed. Theres something wrong with that man. Hes got a peculiar desire to show off to the public, to anybody that wants to look at him, Fleek added. People pull in to see the ocean, they dont pull in to see this. But you cant help but see.
