Police: Man touched himself while following children around in Morristown store

A man accused of touching himself inappropriately in front of several children inside a store in Morristown has been arraigned in General Sessions Court.

Vincent Louis Antonucci, 82, was arrested this week and charged with one count of indecent exposure based on an incident last month at a Goodwill location off Andrew Johnson Highway.

An officer said Antonucci pleasured himself when he followed five children throughout the location.

Antonucci was indicted by a grand jury then entered guilty pleas in 2016 on charges of invasion of privacy, unlawful photographing, and intercepting cell phone messages while felony violations of sexual exploitation of a minor were dropped, according to court records.

Antonucci is scheduled for another hearing on the current charge on December 1.
