A Boston Globe editor was arrested for ``open and gross lewdness'' after two young women complained he turned up at their front door ``naked and masturbating.''
Don't you hate when that happens?
Sources say Bryan Marquard, a married deputy city editor at the Boring Broadsheet, has been out on ``personal leave'' since the alleged incident. He is due back in South Boston District Court Friday for a pretrial hearing.
``The charge is false and should not be dignified further with a response,'' said Marquard's attorney, Ellen Zucker. ``We have every confidence that when a judge or jury sees the case, Mr. Marquard will be completely exonerated.''
According to a police report of the alleged incident, the women - who are Marquard's neighbors - arrived home early in the morning of Dec. 20 and shortly thereafter, heard a knock on their door.
``When the victims answered the door, they observed the suspect, Marquard, standing outside in the hallway, in front of their apartment door, naked and masturbating in front of them.''
The women said it was the second time the Globie had put on a peep show for them.
``Approximately three weeks ago, as they arrived home, they noticed that the suspect's door was open and he was sitting in a chair in plain view steering (sic) at them masturbating,'' the police report says.
When the cops went to Marquard's condo to get his version of the alleged perversion, ``the first words he asked the officers,'' the report says, ``was `Am I being arrested?' ''
The answer was yes. He pleaded innocent at his arraignment the next day.
The Globe confirmed that Marquard is employed as a deputy city editor at the newspaper but would have no further comment on his status.
A former editor and reporter at Newsday in New York, Marquard was moved to the Globe's city desk after stints on the copy desk and as co-editor of the paper's West Weekly section. As deputy city editor, he helped supervise reporters and coordinate coverage in the paper's City & Region section.
A source close to the matter said Marquard will contend that the women made up the stories in retaliation after a neighborhood dispute. The alleged victims did not return our calls.

Confirms my opinion of Boston Globe editors as 'jerk-offs' and 'wankers'.
They should have hit him with a baseball bat!
Seems things got a little too boring and he took matters into his own hands....
He must be vying for a position with Al Gore's new network.
And now the Globe has bought a "free" paper called the Metro which they might not even be able to GIVE away anymore, not after a front page Boston Herald story about that paper's allegedly racist employees.
