Wannabe member of drag group at center of LA Dodgers drama caught masturbating at California park: cops
A wannabe member of the controversial Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence drag group was arrested last month after police said he blatantly masturbated for an hour in broad daylight at a popular California park.
Clinton Monroe Ellis-Gilmore, 53, allegedly made no attempts to hide the perverted act around 6:45 p.m. Aug. 12 at Table Bluff County Park in Loleta, a coastal community 15 miles south of Eureka.
“According to numerous witnesses, Ellis-Gilmore had been at that location for approximately one hour, sitting in his truck with the door open, masturbating,” the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
There was still an hour of sunlight left when he was cuffed at the beachside park.
Ellis-Gilmore was arrested and charged with indecent exposure, a misdemeanor that can fetch up to six months of prison time, a $1,000 fine and a requirement to register as a sex offender.
The drag queen — who goes by “Queen Bethe C–khim” — appeared shirtless in his mugshot and flashed a stifled smirk.
His Facebook page is littered with images of himself dressed as a nun and participating in events run by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the trans-queer group that was invited, uninvited and then reinvited to the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Pride Night in June.
Thousands of demonstrators descended on the stadium to protest a pre-game ceremony in which the baseball team honored the local chapter of the Sisters, whose members dress up in drag in traditional Catholic nun habits, with the Dodgers’ Community Hero Award for their “lifesaving work.”
Critics have blasted the group as a “blatantly perverted, sexual, and disgusting anti-Catholic hate group.”
Ellis-Gilmore is not a full-fledged member of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, but had participated in a plethora of the Eureka chapters’ events while he was in the process of joining the sisterhood several years ago, the chapter told The Post.
Ellis-Gilmore’s rushing process “ended” in October 2022, but the chapter did not say why.
“We have a long and complex process for admitting new members to our order, and we take every step to be as certain as possible that anyone admitted as a fully-professed member will not bring dishonor to our order,” the group said in a statement.
“We would ask our critics to consider whether all the current and former members of their own organizations are without sin before hurling stones at our entire organization based on the alleged behavior of a former member.”
One witness to Ellis-Gilmore’s alleged debauchery claimed the drag queen parked two spots away from his trailer and had his left leg out the open door of the truck and right leg up on the dashboard with no pants on, which gave him a full view of Ellis-Gilmore “playing with himself.”
“Well, this is f–ked up,” Randy Fleek told the Daily Wire.
“It’s obvious. You cannot help but see this guy, he’s not hiding it. He wants everyone to see what he’s doing.”
Ellis-Gilmore allegedly gradually shed his clothes during his hour in the car until he was naked, despite multiple cars passing through the parking lot, many of which sought a view of the coast, Fleek said.
“People pull in to see the ocean, they don’t pull in to see this. But you can’t help but see,” the witness added.
“There’s something wrong with that man. He’s got a weird f–king desire to show off to the public, to anybody that wants to look at him … He puts himself in a position and in a spot that you can’t help but look at the son of a bitch.”
The accused deviant appears to go by several drag names, including “Novice Sister Bethe C–khim” and “Novice Sister Man Romeo,” according to the Daily Wire.
Several pictures depict Ellis-Gilmore covered in white face paint, long wigs, dresses and fishnet tights.
He apparently participated in multiple Sisters events, including drag queen story hours in which he read to a group of young children.
He is married to “Saint Gives More” — “Sainthood” in the group is bestowed on only the most dedicated community members.
In addition to images of himself dressed in mock-nun costumes, Ellis-Gilmore’s social media posts were also flooded with sexually suggestive content.
One graphic he posted featured a pacifier, a lollipop, an ice cream bar and a penis with the caption “Shhhhhhhh….it’s ok, you’ve been preparing for this your whole life.”
Another showed a faux certificate from the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence that says “pleasure should be your god, lust your temple, and sex your sacrament.”
The Sisters’ Eureka chapter did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
