A South Carolina man was arrested for allegedly masturbating during the new Harry Potter movie.

Alexander Ofner, 39, was seated in the back row during an afternoon showing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when he was busted.

On Monday the Bluffton Police Department received a 911 emergency call at 1:10 pm and went to the cinema.



After arriving at the theater officers went to the projection booth to scope out their suspect.

From the perch, according to the police report posted by The Smoking Gun, they 'observe[d] a white male touching his genitals'.

Ofner was promptly arrested for Indecent Exposure and taken to jail.

The latest Harry Potter movie was given a more-adult rating of PG-13 and features a topless makeout scene between Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe.
