A town councilman is under investigation for videotaping and posting on social media an obviously distressed naked woman on Main Street in Saugerties.
He’s a fireman, was in the official assistant chief’s car, with his friend who is not a fireman, and did nothing to help but left the scene after taping her twice.
Both clips are about ten seconds. The parents are upset and filed a Police report.
