DENVILLE A Morris Catholic High School music teacher was charged with lewdness Tuesday after he was seen masturbating while watching children at a bus stop, police said.

The arrest was made after police got a call about a man masturbating in the back seat of a vehicle at a bank on Route 53, police said.

The vehicle had left the scene by the time police arrived but the witness who allegedly observed the man in the act gave police the license plate of the vehicle, according to police Capt. Paul Nigro.

The plate led police to John Watson, 33, of North Brunswick, and investigators learned he had done this at least three additional times but Nigro would not say how police came to that conclusion.

Watson was charged with four counts of lewdness, and released after posting bail, police said.
