Police Arrest Suspect In Sexual Assault Case Police arrested David Kennimer, 19, for aggravated sexual assault Monday afternoon. Kennimer was living with his parents in their central Lubbock home.
Police say it all started when Kennimer applied to be a volunteer at Dupre Elementary. He was never given the position, but was allowed to take pictures of the school. That`s when police say Kennimer took a six-year-old girl out of gym class and sexually molested her.
Kennimer could be facing some serious jail time. His story begins on Tuesday, September 20. Police say Kennimer applied to be a volunteer at Dupre Elementary and asked to take pictures of the school.
"The reason he wanted to take pictures is beccause he`s looking at a career in photography, he was wanting to put together a portfolio book," says Lieutenant Jerry Brewer, of the Lubbock Police Department.
That was the story Kennimer told administrators. He couldn`t volunteer until his background check went through; but in the meantime, he was allowed to photograph the school, as long as no children were in the shots. One week later, Kennimer showed back up with his camera. That`s when police say he began taking pictures of students in a gym class and then pulled one six-year-old girl into a private room and sexually molested her.
"That was when the coach wondered where he was at and started looking for him," says Lietuenant Brewer. "At the time, he didn`t see anything peculiar."
Which raises the question: How did Kennimer supposedly get into the building, sexually molest a child during gym class and have it go unnoticed by teachers?
