According to Doral police, Abelardo Martin Acevedo, 49, was sitting inside the clubhouses' recreational room, masturbating while looking at several people who were in the pool.

A police officer arrived at the complex a short time later and saw Acevedo with his hand on his penis, while trying to conceal it with a towel, authorities said.
