I am not defending this guy first off. What he did is disgusting and if he wants to carry on with this kind of behavior, he should do it in the privacy of his own house and not out in the open.

Just have to share an experience that happened at the Pennecamp Pool with my daughter and her husband. We had a family joke that now that she turned 30, she was old enough to go to the Pennecamp Pool. As they entered the pool area, all of a sudden all eyes were on them. She was wearing a very conservative 2-piece swim suit and her husband board shorts. Nothing provocative or in bad taste.

They got into the pool and the women circled around her and said that finally there was "new meat" to look at because the men at the pool had "No Butts". My son-in-law felt very uncomfortable cause they were looking at him provocatively and smiling. He swam away and was going underwater a lot to not hear the conversations anymore. Then conversations from the "ladies" turned to topics involving underwater "condom races" and other inappropriate sexual comments. After a short while, my daughter and son-in-law left and came back to tell us. My daughter stated that the men at the pool never made her feel uncomfortable, either with comments or prolonged looks, etc.

Needless to say, when they visit here, my son-in-law refuses to the Pennecamp pool anymore. They go to a nearby family pool i.e. Allamanda.

A different experience happened to us when we went to City Fire in LSL for some lunch. My son-in-law, the gentleman that he is, ran up and opened the door for all five of us to enter. He held the door open to three ladies that were following us into City Fire. One of the ladies asked " Is there a cover charge today?" just being friendly, he said "No, It was Ladies Night" just engaging in a friendly conversation, well one of the "ladies" said "Well here's my ID", and pulled her blouse down to show off her bra.

I read the story with some ladies going to the Pennecamp Pool area being uncomfortable getting their mail or walking their dog, and obviously I am sympathetic towards them feeling that way and everyone should feel safe going anywhere here in The Villages, obviously, still be aware of their immediate surroundings, but these two stories keep popping in my head of what happened to my daughter and husband at the Pennecamp Pool.
