Sons A Bitch. Too bad he couldn’t been killed. This would be the last time doing this type of crime.
Ok, this has MAJOR creep factor….he had a skank RV (photo) oh Lord, who knows what he had planned. These pervs get treated too gingerly. I agree with Triburcio. Rid the world of these predators! Our children would be tremendously safer without them.
Thank God the mother was able to intervene! These predators watch for any opportunity to strike when parents might be distracted. Just gives me the creeps!
The folks in Sacramento and the governor will never allow criminal’s to be justly punished by long prison terms, nor will the shameful voting public because they keep voting these knuckleheads into office. Victims seemed to be 2nd class citizens to them. But major kudos to the deputies for fast and expeditious work in removing this person off the street and attempting to make us safer.
Great job sheriff’s We need to get off our phone and be aware of our surroundings And to the mom glad you were able to identify that nut case
This is one sick creep! Everyone needs to be extremely vigilant in watching our surroundings! Stay OFF your cell phones and pay attention to what’s going on around you!!! This is happening all over the country!!!!!!! These perverts need to be castrated and hung so everyone can see what will happen to them if they even think about it!!!!!
Where is his MUG shot, let’s make this go Viral!
Watch your kids dont let them out of your site and never let your gaurd down. They depend on you to protect them from the preditors in the world. That goes for online too kid’s don’t need unsupervised internet , and don’t be afraid to check thier history on it once in awhile.
I realize how much work you must have carried out in order to get that much info all together such as this. I’m in agreement with you and I love your current demonstration.
