Wide World of Condoms- A JPMorgan Chase sales exec wore nothing but a condom when he jumped from behind a tree on a popular New Jersey biking and hiking trail – but he didn’t realize the woman he’d exposed himself to was an off-duty police officer, authorities said yesterday.
John D. Kelly of Jersey City was ordered held on $202,500 cash bail on charges of lewdness and attempted sex assault yesterday, and police around the country see no humor in his arrest.
That’s because Kelly, 39, travels extensively for work and has rented 100 cars in 18 cities in the last 27 months, Monmouth County investigators said. He was driving a rental car May 15 when he allegedly exposed himself to the jogging officer in a park in Union Beach.
“Our office is sending out teletypes to these jurisdictions, asking them if any similar incidents have occurred,” said Monmouth Assistant Prosecutor Robert Honecker.
“Several of them have called with information or asked more about the incident that occurred in Union Beach,” Honecker said.
He declined to say what cities Kelly had visited.
It’s much ado about very little, insisted Kelly’s lawyer, Brian Neary.
“The evidence will show him [Kelly] in the park and exposed but will not show that he had the intent to sexually assault this woman,” Neary told reporters.
On May 15, a Sunday, Kelly rented a car at Newark Airport and drove to Union Beach, a town on Raritan Bay across from Staten Island and Brooklyn.
He parked near the Henry Hudson Trail, a paved biking and walking path. With his clothes tucked under his arm, Kelly – wearing just a condom – jumped in front of the off-duty female officer, who was jogging, authorities said.
She immediately pulled out a can of Mace and a cellphone, Honecker said. “She told him to halt and said, ‘Don’t come near me. I’m going to call the police,’ ” the prosecutor recounted.
Kelly put on his shorts and ran about 500 feet to his rented Ford Taurus, and the officer gave chase. The car’s license plate was covered by a T-shirt, but the officer yanked it away and read the plate number to a dispatcher as Kelly sped off, Honecker said. Detectives traced the car back to the Hertz rental company, and after they began questioning Kelly’s neighbors, his lawyer arranged his surrender.
Kelly, who is single, often travels in his job as a sales executive for a JPMorgan Chase unit that provides cash-management services to businesses around the country, said a source. A Chase spokesperson declined comment.
Honecker said the case was no laughing matter.
“Put yourself in this person’s position,” he said of the jogging cop. “Luckily, she was properly trained and able to follow the man and help make an ID.”
