VIDEO: Pagano pleads guilty, gets probation
Pagano was arrested after he offered money to perform a lewd act.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A man accused of using Swiss cheese to sexually proposition unsuspecting women was sentenced to 8 years probation Thursday.

41-year-old Christopher Pagano of Norristown pleaded guilty to harassment and indecent exposure charges.

Police say Pagano drove up to women on several occasions and offered them money to put cheese on his genitals and perform a lewd act.

The story went viral after a Philadelphia neighborhood town watch group posted a blurry cellphone picture on its Facebook page of a half-naked man in his car holding up what appears to be cheese.

The group dubbed him the "Swiss Cheese Pervert."
