Sex toy image appears on screen during N.J. council's Zoom meeting
The person who went live with an image of a sex toy during a Hamilton, N.J., council meeting late last month was later identified, and the township is handling the manner internally, Mayor Jeff Martin said Tuesday. The incident occurred toward the end of the May 20 meeting, one of four budget workshop meetings, while Fire Chief Rich Kraemer spoke about fire vehicles.
The sex toy was affixed to a fire truck, and appeared to be a Zoom background someone created. It was on for about 13 seconds, and a person’s head briefly appears in the bottom of the frame. The person was signed in as “mike’s iPhone.”
“Taking this matter very seriously, the next day we immediately began an investigation into who that individual was. We completed that investigation and are handling it as a personnel matter which we do not comment on further,” Martin said in a statement. The township blacked out the image in the version of the meeting posted online, Martin said.
“None of the information contained in the budget workshop was cut or distorted so as not to interfere with our goal of providing the public a transparent video recording of the meeting,” the mayor said. If anyone requests an unedited copy of the video – the Trentonian news outlet was the first to do so – Martin said the town will provide the unedited version.
