The undercover cop watched as Pee-wee “exposed penis with left hand” and started to “masterbate.” He did the same thing ten minutes later. He was arrested for sexual exposure. Pee-wee was a graduate of Sarasota High School and in town visiting his parents. He became a star for his show “Pee-Wee’s Playhouse in the 80s.

Pee-wee pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor charge and was given community service with a small $50 fine plus $85 for court costs. After his arrest and resulting bad press, he stayed out of the media for a few years. CBS dropped his show on Saturday mornings, his toys were removed from stores, and was the punchline for bad jokes.
