Middle class mom hires bodyguard for court appearance after she was filmed committing obscene road rage act
A Pennsylvania mom who allegedly defecated on a vehicle in a bizarre case of road rage has hired a bodyguard to accompany her to court.
Christina Solometo, 44, appeared at Prospect Park District Court on Monday for a preliminary hearing into the wild offense that was caught on camera last month.
The clip shows a woman, dubbed the 'Delco Popper', dropping her pants, squatting over the hood of a car in Prospect Park, Delaware County, before delectating on it.
Her attorney David Klayman advised Fox News that Solomento had hired a guard due to receiving threats, after the clip was circulated on social media.
Solometo was charged with indecent exposure, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief, harassment and depositing waste after she was arrested on May 2.
In court on Monday, officials added another count of open lewdness as witness Greg Ferrari, 17, was called.
Ferrari had captured the moment that she allegedly defecated on the vehicle, he told the court he was heading to his friends house at the time of the incident.
According to the teenager he had to stop as he saw two women in a heated confrontation, and decided to record it.
According to Fox, he told the court: 'One of the people ended up going to the bathroom on the other's car.'
Ferrari identified the woman that he captured on video as being Solometo, saying that the other driver had been shouting insults at Solometo.
Outside of court, Ferrari admitted to awaiting reporters that since the clip went viral he has become somewhat of a celebrity due to the attention it has received.
He said: 'It's pretty crazy. I mean it's something you'd never expect. I just got done [at] school. I got called out of school for this.'
Klayman argued in court that the charges against Solometo do not accurately portray what happened that day and that the other driver is also to blame.
Speaking of the threats, he told Fox: 'It's traumatic because it's all over the media. There are people making t-shirts, hats. Making threatening comments.
'When we are talking about a person. Just because it's not your best day doesn't mean you should be harassed continuously.'
Solometo is expected back in court to be formally arraigned on July 9.
According to court documents she allegedly told police, 'It was a clean poop. I didn't even have to wipe.'
Solometo allegedly claimed she had acted out of restraint rather than rage.
'The other driver called me a bad name,' she said. 'So I dropped a deuce instead of turning violent.'
Prospect Park Police Chief Dave Madonna told NBC after the clip surfaced that: 'This can't happen in this community.
'No town wants this to happen in their town. The recognition a town gets over this kind of thing - it's really unwelcome. We don't want this.'
'I know it's being joked on a lot. There's all kinds of puns and innuendos online. But bottom line, we are treating it seriously.'
It has also since emerged that Solometo is an adult content creator with an OnlyFans page.
Her page promises subscribers an intimate 'toe-tally' experience, including decorated toenails, toe jewelry, and personalized fetish content.
When a reporter for Philadelphia Magazine messaged Solometo to ask if her public defecation had any connection to fetish content she offers, her response was vulgar.
'You want me to f***ing s*** on you? I want 5k and I'm bringing a bodyguard!'
Her reply was sent via a Facebook account Solometo operates under the alias 'Christina M. Shythead.'

Grandmother left to die after getting trapped under a car in a hospital parking garage, family alleges
A family is demanding answers after a 79-year-old grandmother died when she became trapped under her car in a hospital parking garage in April. Theresa M Phillips, 79, was driving her husband, Walter, to a doctor's appointment in a Pittsburgh hospital when the tragic accident occurred. Upon entering the parking lot, Phillips turned into the wrong entrance, forcing her to exit her car to retrieve a ticket. Her family's attorney said that the Phillips did not put the car into park, causing it to roll towards her, eventually trapping her underneath. The family's defense attorney, Matthew Scanlon, said her husband attempted 'to lift the car off his wife' but had to watch her be 'crushed to death.' 'Poor Mr. Phillips was trying, I can't imagine having to watch [...] This was absolutely a preventable tragedy,' he said. According to her daughter, Marie Lawton, emergency services took 30 minutes to arrive at the scene. A University of Pittsburgh Medical Center spokesperson said the hospital was 'deeply saddened by the tragic accident.' 'While emergency crews quickly responded, the victim did not survive. Our deepest sympathies are with the family,' the spokesperson added. Philips is survived by her daughter, Marie Lawton; her grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews; and her sister. According to her obituary, Phillips was a U.S. Army Veteran who 'enjoyed playing video games, her pets, card club, bingo, and shopping.' 'She was very, very active; no grass grew under her feet. She always had something to do. But in the past two months, I've wanted to call my mom 20 times a day about the dumbest things, like 'mom did you hear,' not being able to call her that's the hardest,' Marie Lawton told local station WPXI. Scanlon said the family intends to file a lawsuit to determine what took so long and why no one from the hospital, just a few steps away, stepped in to help Philips. 'The public deserves answers on this, this is a public safety issue, UPMC being the largest provider in the area, we all deserve answers to this,' Scanlon said. 'It's not on the world, it's the impact on me, on my husband, on my grandchildren, on my dad. That's where she left the impact, and we take it out into the world,' Lawton added. The family hopes to file the lawsuit in Allegheny County court within the next month.

Sex offender fined £1.42 per indecent exposure
A sex offender who indecently exposed himself seven times has been handed a £10 fine – equivalent to just £1.42 per offence. Leon Clarke, 49, from Sutton, south London, also received a one-year community order after admitting indecently exposing himself with intent to cause alarm on seven occasions at train stations last year. His 'soft' sentence has sparked demands for police and courts to take a tougher approach, just days after The Telegraph revealed how thousands of sex offenders accused of indecent exposure were avoiding prosecution. It comes despite a crackdown pledge by police after the rape and murder of Sarah Everard. The proportion of indecent exposure offences resulting in a charge has halved since 2014-15 from one in five to just one in 10 (10.2 per cent) despite the number of reported crimes increasing by 160 per cent from 6,000 to 16,000 in the same period. A government-commissioned report found Wayne Couzens, who while serving as a Metropolitan Police officer murdered Sarah, could have been stopped if police had carried out a 'more thorough and committed' investigation into reports of his alleged indecent exposures.
