“Mr. Abraham was unable to comprehend, process and perceive the charges being alleged,” Sirkin said in his filing. “He further was not only unable to understand the ‘Miranda rights’ but he was not capable to intelligently waive the rights.”
Abraham, of Cincinnati, was charged with public indecency, a first-degree misdemeanor, after a Fairfield school resource officer at Creekside Middle School on Nilles Road received several complaints that he allegedly was fondling himself with students in the classroom.
Students observed the alleged act, according to a video recorded by a 13-year-old female student and posted to social media. No students were involved in the act.
Abraham admitted to police he was looking at explicit images on his cellphone while fondling himself outside his pants, and admitted he “fondled himself four or five times over the course of an hour,” according to the police report. He was never exposed, police said.
Fairfield Municipal Court Judge Joyce Campbell granted a continuance to rule on the motion to suppress on March 21. Fairfield Assistant Prosecutor Patrick Oelrich said he will oppose the motion.
