Child Molester Masturbates In Store After Assaulting 9 Yr Old

Edmonds, WA - “We need to find this guy,” tweeted the Edmonds Police Department. his video contains images of a man walking around inside a store, masturbating. His genitals are not visible, but it is clear what he is doing.



Police in Edmonds believe a man suspected of sexually assaulting a 9-year-old girl in a busy supermarket last Saturday tried to do the same thing to another girl an hour later in a different store.



An anonymous tip led police to check the H-Mart Store in Lynnwood for additional video, Edmonds police Sgt. Shane Hawley said. The tip came from a father who reported the same suspect tried to sexually assault his daughter the same day.



The first incident occurred around 4 p.m. Sept. 15 at the Ranch 99 market, police said.



The suspect was described as a white man in his 50s or 60s, possibly with a goatee. He was reportedly wearing a bright blue T-shirt and dark shorts, based on a still image from surveillance video.



Police have gathered video clips from both stores. A clip from the most recently obtained video was released Friday.
