A former Tennessee politician was arrested and charged with indecent exposure after he allegedly masturbated out his car window while driving 90 mph on Interstate 26 earlier this year. Apparently this is not a new multi-tasking endeavor for the former Mount Carmel vice mayor - the charges mirror complaints made him against him several years ago that were never fully investigated. And now he's facing up to all of them.

William Lee Blakely was charged with one count of indecent exposure after a female motorist alleged that he "fondled himself" and made obscene gestures while they drove next to one another on the highway.

Now that he's been arrested for the charges, several women have come out to testify about similar stories in the past. "It seems that every victim would tell the same story. But I knew all the victims did not know each other," Kingsport Police Detective Terry Christian told WJHL.

According to each of the women testifying, Blakely's high-speed masturbation super fun time started out the same: he'd wave to get the drivers' attention, escalating to a honk, and then partially crossing over into their lanes.

"After the waving, it turned into a lot of beeping, him grabbing his chest area, and asking me going 'please, please' with his hands, may I... show me yours," witness Kelly Street said.

"He was taking his hand, wetting his mouth, and masturbating," another witness said.

"At over 90 miles per hour, he had his penis out ... he was masturbating... and that's when it got really, really bad. I wouldn't look over any more," Street added.

Detective Christian lamented how Blakely's indecent acts "went on for so long and nobody's addressed it." Apparently the department received dozens of phone calls reporting similar behavior over the last three to four years, all from victims ranging between ages 16-65.
