Man caught having sex with inflatable pool raft

A repeat public indecency offender has been arrested for allegedly engaging in "sexual activity" with a pink inflatable swimming pool raft. Edwin Charles Tobergta, 32, was arrested at his Harmon Avenue home early Sunday after he was spotted in the act in an alley in the 1800 block of Howell Avenue behind a residence.

A male witness, who owns the raft and lives in the home near the alley, told Hamilton Police Officer William Thacker he shouted at the suspect to stop. Tobergta took the raft and fled. When police caught up with him, he admitted to the crime and begged for help.



"Defendant advised officers that he was doing it but only because he has a problem and that he needs help and please don't send him to prison but send him somewhere to get help." Tobergta, who remains at the Hamilton city jail, had been arrested at least five times for similar offences, most recently in 2008, Hamilton Municipal Court records state.

Tobergta’s grandmother, Linda Tobergta, cried as she explained to a reporter how the family has tried to seek mental care for her grandson over the years, to no avail. He suffers from Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and has abused his medication in the past, she said. “He has a lot of mental problems and he’s always had a fascination for plastic,” she said. “That’s just it. That’s all of it. We never could get the proper care for Edwin. It’s like nobody cares.”

Fascination with plastic is not the problem here, everyone has their kinks, rubber and plastic fetish isn't that bizarre. The problem here is the failure to respect the boundaries between private and public and own stuff and other people's stuff.

A philosophical question: When and on what grounds are you considered to be "having sex" with an inanimate object instead of just using it for sexual pleasure? Is it just the size of the object that matters? How much extra stuff do you have to add to a fleshlight to cross the line from masturbation to having sex with it? Same goes for phallic toys.

Reminds me of Squidbillies...the tire. I'm sure no one knows what I mean.
