Through an Aug. 24 release, the Philadelphia Police Department released an image of the suspect, whose deviant behavior began 18 days prior on the 1800 block of South 15th Street. In that matter, a woman was walking at 1 a.m. when a cyclist touched her inappropriately, leading her to shout and for him to speed off in an unknown direction. A mountain bike operator used the same method at 10:15 p.m. Aug. 10 as a female walked along the 900 block of Lombard Street.
The aggressor struck again Aug. 13, subjecting a woman to his perversion as she walked on the 700 block of South Eighth Street at 12:10 a.m and speeding off on a bike. Finally, two hours later, he groped his fourth victim on the 2000 block of South 13th Street as she exited her vehicle. In the last matter, the perpetrator fled on foot.
