I hope so too! I've been groped countless times, usually in crowds, and it's awful. Not to make light of your situation, but I had to chuckle picturing someone punching a dude with a candy bar! Good job, though. Maybe he'll think twice.

So sorry to hear of people that had to endure that abuse.

Its inexcusable behavior and it is a crime.
Unfortunately some of the older Hollywood movies appear to have treated it as a joke. I watch a lot of older movies on TCM (turner classic movies) and I can remember at least 2 or 3 different movies that had scenes with some man pinching or grabbing a girls butt. I don't remember which movies they were in but I do remember the scenes seem to treat it like a joke which is very sad.

They were still making movies like that in the 70's, where a slap or pinch on the bottom was wink/winked about. I've never once met another woman that thinks it's funny but clearly, there's a certain breed of men that do.

That was the best summary of how to ask the public to help. It was slow and to the point and included as much footage as possible.

I wish more news shows would take the time to do it right like this. Whoever was in charge of producing this video needs to be hired to do ALL of them everywhere. Good Job.

As far as this creep....my goodness LE needs to catch him and charge him to the fullest extent of the law before he accelerates to something worse.

I agree with others that this is a serious crime and nobody should have to endure what this creep is doing.

It was so scary watching the video as he stalks his victims.
Reminded me of the video of the Jesse Mathews creep that stalked and killed Hannah Graham.

Glad you pointed that out about the video, ita- meant to comment how well done and easy to follow it was, very helpful. imo.

One of the weird things about the blitz attacks, is that the victims included a woman pushing a stroller and a 59 year old woman who was shopping.
Mommy issues?

Had not thought of mentally disabled person as suggested by musicaljoke, but it is certainly possibile- although the poi seemed to be able to stalk and run in a coordinated fashion.
imo. speculation.

UBM

He does seem to have a plan. Dangerous guy imo especially if he is enjoying the notoriety of the media coverage.

Could the "Mimico Prowler'' be the same guy as this one with the same name? speculation, imo.
