When former VA Inspector General John Wooditch suddenly resigned his job in 2008, he was quickly forgotten amid growing agency scandal and a competitive presidential election. Seven years later, internal VA documents leaked to online news outlets allege that Wooditch quit after he was caught flogging the log in front of a glass window in view of people on the street.

The news was broken by the Daily Caller, which asserted that Wooditch resigned from his position after federal investigators confronted him about sending his five-fingered army to invade his trousers while in the office.

It was in July 2008 when multiple teachers attending a conference at the Renaissance Hotel — next to the IG’s Washington, D.C. headquarters — noticed a man looking at them and masturbating across the alley. The teachers observed him doing it repeatedly during their week-long stay.

One of the teachers “described Wooditch’s behavior as being progressive. She said that during the week, he went from rubbing himself over the top of his clothes to disrobing and fondling his penis,” according to the investigative report.

In addition to repeatedly making the bald man cry in front of random pedestrians, Wooditch allegedly launched an investigation to find the culprit of the serial wanking in an effort to case suspicion away from himself. However, security footage of Wooditch firing off knuckle children led investigators to him anyway.

When contacted by the Daily Caller, Wooditch responded, “I don’t have any comment at all. I didn’t resign, I just retired. I don’t even know what you’re talking about. I’ve never heard that, I’ve never done that.”

Wooditch was more willing to speak with Military.com, which contacted him to corroborate the Daily Caller’s story. The former VA inspector told the site that he was accused of publicly stroking the salami, but the VA ultimately found the accusation to be false.

“They found nothing wrong and they closed the case,” he said. “Both the VA and Interior reviewed the matter. The matter was referred to US Attorney’s Office for consideration, and they found it unfounded and closed the case and did not pursue it.”

He added, “If I had [done it], you can be rest assured that I would have been held accountable for that. I would have been charged with a crime and I would have had to go to court to face it. But all the evidence, all the interviews and the U.S. Attorney’s Office concluded that there was nothing to charge me with.”

Wooditch also said he decided to retire, not resign.

“I was never asked orally or in writing to resign,” he said. “My wife and I had bought a house in Pennsylvania, and we were the process of retiring and then all this kind of nonsense broke loose. I just retired after 32 years of outstanding performance in the federal government. I never resigned.”

Is the Daily Caller’s tale of hand to gland combat true? We’re not yet sure. Hopefully, the undisclosed report obtained by the news outlet will be read and confirmed by other sources.
