Oswego landlord arrested for allegedly trying to patronize a prostitute

OSWEGO, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — An Oswego landlord has been arrested for allegedly trying to patronize a prostitute.

On Sept. 30 at 7 a.m., a person called the Oswego Police Department to report a male who was exposing himself while leaning on a car. The complainant believed there was a second person in the car.

After providing the police with video and photographs of the vehicle, police were able to identify the car’s owner and the female victim, who said a person did solicit her to engage in oral sex for money.

Douglas S. Waterbury, 60, of Oswego, was arrested on Dece. 9 as a result of the investigation. Waterbury has been charged with one count of public lewdness and one count of patronizing a prostitute.

Court documents show that he has violated court orders to give up control of rental properties following a previous sexual harassment lawsuit.

He is due back in court later in December.
