St. Mary’s County Catholic Priest Charged With Indecent Exposure in Frederick County

September 1, 2022

On July 21, 2022, an adult male victim responded to the Maryland State Police, Frederick Barrack to submit a complaint that a man was exposing himself while driving on Route 70.

Charging documents stated the victim was driving Westbound on Route 70 in Frederick County near the 56 mile marker, when he saw a man with no pants on was masturbating while driving. The victim stated this was the third time the same man in the same vehicle had done this, and believed he was being targeted.

The victim then took photos of the vehicle and registration plate.

During the investigation Troopers determined the vehicle was a 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander SUV and was registered to Jaroslaw Stanislaw Gamrot, age 58 of Rocky Ridge in Frederick County.

On July 25, 2022, Troopers made contact with Gamrot and during an interview he admitted to being the driver of the vehicle.

Gamrot was served a criminal summons for Indecent Exposure and has a preliminary court hearing scheduled on October 25, 2022.

According to the Holy Face Church website, Father Jerry is the pastor at Holy Face Parish as well as the Administrator of Little Flower School.

“Father Jerry was born in Poland and studied fine arts, philosophy and theology. He graduated from the Catholic University of Lublin with a Master’s of Divinity and received the Sacrament of Holy Orders, becoming a presbyter of the Roman Catholic Church in 1991. Since then, he has served as a priest in churches in Poland, Italy and the United Kingdom before coming to the Archdiocese of Washington. Father Jerry likes art, music and animals. But most of all, he likes to work with people and children.

In Father Jerry’s own words, “God created all things big and tall, great and giant. But I believe that God also created all small and tiny critters. They are often pushed aside, ignored, overlooked or unnoticed. Like children, the small creatures may seem sometimes unimportant in the world. This is so unfair. That’s why Jesus teaches us that tiny things are important to God. God dresses up the flowers with their beauty and trails sparrows in their flight. Above all, God cares for small people and children whom he loves. This is good news. We call it Gospel and we make sure to remember it and follow it!”
