Fla. Teen Pleads Not Guilty to Masturbating With Stuffed Animal at Walmart

A 19-year-old Florida man has pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges that he masturbated with a stuffed animal toy at Walmart, the Smoking Gun reports.

Sean Johnson entered his plea during an arraignment Nov. 12 in Hernando County Court. The teen faces a charge of misdemeanor incident when he allegedly masturbated with a stuffed horse toy (not a My Little Pony) on Oct. 14 in the housewares section of a Walmart in Brooksville, Fla., which is about 50 miles north of Tampa, Fla.

According to authorities, Johnson "selected a brown, tan and red stuffed horse from the clearance shelf in the garden department" then walked to the comforter aisle in housewares where he "proceeded to pull out his genitals." A police report says the teen then "proceeded to hump the stuffed horse utilizing short fast movements."

After he "achieved an orgasm and ejaculated on the stuffed horse's chest area" Johnson put the "soiled stuffed horse on top of a bed in a bag (comforter set) contaminating that property also."

The Walmart's security cameras allegedly captured the incident.

Though Johnson tried to flee the store, Brooksville police caught him across the street and he reportedly confessed to the incident.

"I did unmentionables to a stuffed animal," Johnson wrote in statement, calling the incident a "horrible act."

"I need to think before what I do. I'm extremely sorry," he wrote.

Johnson was arrested but paid a $1,500 bond. He is scheduled for a Dec. 11 pretrial hearing, court records say.

The Smoking Gun reports its staff tried to reach out to Johnson Wednesday but he hung up on them.
