Rusty Torres admits exposing himself to 8-year-old girl on Long Island, documents show

An ex-Yankees outfielder admitted flashing an 8-year-old girl in the back of a van after an innocent playground romp became a perverted peep show on Long Island.

Rusty Torres, 63, a youth baseball coach for the Town of Oyster Bay, confessed in an unsettling statement to police that he became “slightly aroused” while watching the child hang upside down from a pull-up bar on Monday afternoon.

Further (unpleasant) details in the article. Torres’s statement concludes, ““I don’t want to work with children anymore, it’s too risky,” and I think that’s probably a good idea…

Geez that's too bad. Torres was loved by the Syracuse fans when he was coming up.

Wow. Real sad to read this. He was a guest speaker at a couple of NYC SABR regionals back in the early '90s and seemed like a real nice guy.

If there's a silver lining to this, I guess it's that he apparently stopped himself before outright molesting the girl. At least she didn't have to deal with that.

Did you read the full article? He already did plenty if the charges are accurate.

That's a damning statement when it's directed at the submitter.

“I brought her to the back of my van and I don’t want to talk about what happened there

Then don't! For God's sake, stop right there!

but at one point I accidentally exposed my erect penis.”

Aaahhh! At one point? What were the other points? Wait, I thought we weren't talking about this?

“stopped myself before anything bad happened to her."

You already admitted to a lot of physical contact, taking her to your van and exposing yourself to her. Maybe the 'anything bad' ship has sailed?

I am glad he stopped himself before something happened, assuming that is true. I can't imagine having those desires. It must be truly awful.

Won't somebody please think of the children?

No, not you, Mr. Torres! Please stop thinking of the children! Please!

Yes, I did, and yes, he did - but it still could've been so, so much worse.
