SPD South Precinct Newsletter

Normally, the south precinct is pretty good about updating their homepage to include a link to their latest community newsletter.  But it appears that they're a bit behind the times at the moment, even though they sent out an updated newsletter late last week. 

While we wait for that link to update, here are some quotes from the latest and greatest:

A pattern of actual or attempted sexual assaults against Asian women
has been noted in the South Precinct area. They date back several
months, the most recent occurring the morning of November 28th. The
frequency of the assaults has increased, as has the level of
aggression as the suspect has progressed from groping from behind to
attempting to drag the victim away to continue the sexual assault.

The assaults have most often occurred as the women have exited a Metro
bus and are on their way home or on their way to the bus in the
morning. The suspect has attacked along routes served by the Metro
bus routes of the 7, 32 and 36.

[...]

The suspect has been described as a black male, late teens to early
30s, 5'9", thin to medium build, medium to dark complexion. The
suspect often wears a hooded sweatshirt or otherwise attempts to
conceal his face. As the suspect often attacks the victims from
behind, distinct suspect information has been lacking because often
the victims do not get a good look at the suspect.

An additional complication we face is that many of the victims have
been reluctant to speak with detectives in the Sexual Assault Unit to
provide further information. In some cases, where the suspect grabbed
the woman's rear, the victims didn't feel it was serious enough to
report because "all he did was grope me. No big deal"

Yowzers.  Whoever this guy is, he's a moron.  It's moments like this where I wonder how life would be different if schools taught kids (particularly girls) basic self defense as part of physical education.  A quick knee to the groin a few times in a row would hopefully start to discourage this dimwit.

Ladies, if you see somebody matching this description, call 911!  The police are obviously trying hard to track this guy down.  And if you get groped, report that too!  Groping, given the current climate, is no questions an assault.

PS.  The admiral was nice enough to point out that my previous post was riddled with excellent displays of kul speling and goodly grammar.  Ummm...yeah.  Sorry 'bout that.
