Unbelievable Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I am a Lieutenant with the State Police and, as you may know from my recent e-mail about our tournament, I am also with Johnson City Little League. Below is information of the utmost concern that you need to be aware of for child safety purposes. It appears there is a pedophile and potential sexual predator that has appeared on at least three instances (that we have recently learned of) at Northside Park (on Harry L. Dr) in Johnson City. The latest incident was this weekend when it involved JC Little League kids/personnel. We have also learned of at least two other incidents that happened previously, involving school sports teams. Here are the details as best as I have them at this point. About a month ago, members of the modified boys baseball team were practicing at the old high school field, at Northside Park, when a white male in a blue sports car, described as having a spoiler (described at the time as a Neon) exited his vehicle and called to one of the outfielders to come over to him and 'take a look.' The player did not go near the subject, but observed the subject was masterbating. The player immediately ran to his coach and notified him and the subject fled in the vehicle. The subject was described as a white male with dark colored, short hair, possibly a receding hairline, medium build, believed to be approximately 30 years old. Sometime between that instance and this weekend, a subject in a blue car was parked on the road that travels through the park (in between the school fields and the village baseball fields and tennis courts) and called over to a female lacrosse player who was practicing. The player looked over and observed the subject to be masterbating. I don't have a physical description or further details of the person or vehicle in this instance. This weekend got more disturbing. At approximately 5 PM on Saturday, an adult involved in JC Little League, who had heard about the first incident, saw a blue car parked adjacent to the tennis courts and observed what she thought was a male subject stand from a kneeling position near his car while pulling up his pants, then getting into his car. She alerted people, and efforts were immediately made to follow the car and get a license plate etc. Almost immediately after all this happened (and independent of the adult's observation), a group of boys, ages 6-11 who had been playing baseball on the tennis court, reported that the subject who got into the blue car had called to a 6 year old boy to come over to him, while the 6 year old was retrieving a tennis ball that had just been hit. One or two of the boys actually heard the guy call (described as calling softly) to the 6 year old. The rest of the boys didn't hear anything, but they were immediately uncomfortable with the subject, got scared, and called the 6 year old back (at which time they ran and reported the incident to adults). As I said, efforts were made to immediately follow the car and when the driver realized that attempts were being made to follow him and get a plate number, he sped away. He was actually confronted in his vehicle a short time later but, unfortunately, he would not stop and only partial identifiers were made of him. The best information that we can give you at this time is the following: The man is likely between 25-35 years old, medium build, dark hair, slicked back (either by sweat at the time, or he styles it that way). He was wearing sunglasses at the time. When he approached the 6 year old boy, he didn't have a shirt on and was wearing shorts, possibly black. He may have a slight mustache and may have a pox marked or rough complexion. He has earrings in both ears. At the time, the earrings he was wearing appeared to be horseshoe shaped, with balls at the end. The vehicle is a very shiny, bright metallic royal blue - newer, likely to have been bought in the last two or three years, or is a very well cared for older car. It is believed to be a 2 door, but may be a 4 door - very sporty looking with a factory spoiler. It is very similar in make to a Chevy Cobalt SS or a Pontiac G5, but is also similar to many other foreign and domestic 'lower priced' sport cars. The key is the bright blue color and the spoiler. The interior of the car was either black or charcoal colored. The license plate was believed to start with CXC, or something close to that, followed by 4 numbers - however, it was only seen for an instant and that may only be partially correct, so please don't rule out any vehicle based on the plate.also, the license plate holder had 'Oneonta' and either 'NY' or 'New York' on it. (This leads us to believe the vehicle was purchased in Oneonta, not necessarily that the subject lives there). As I said, this subject has been in our park 3 times in the last month to two months - I believe that he will likely avoid it further because he was confronted, however he may not and it certainly does not rule out that he won't go to some other park in the area. As a matter of fact, I would assume he would go to other area parks rather than returning to Northside. Please alert those involved in your leagues and your school teams to make sure they are aware of this information. He apparently likes to frequent sporting type events and obviously, as many pedophiles do, parks in general. Should you believe that you have come across this vehicle, please contact the police immediately! You are under no obligation to confront or attempt to restrain the subject, but every effort you can make to get a license plate number, follow him while reporting his whereabouts to the police via cell-phone, etc. would be appreciated. If you have any questions or concerns, or you can provide any further information where you may have had similar instances or heard of reports, please feel free to contact me via e-mail or cell phone.

Guest Guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 "sounds like the real sports mind to me...." Now THAT is real spot on analysis. That would certainly explain how the "RSM" has compiled his in-depth knowledge of youth sports. It's all making sense now ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Excellent information. I would suggest to copy and paste this into the local section for all to see. Thanks again. I got this today in an e-mail and sent it to everyone on my list that lives in the area. I figure it won't be long before this sicko moves on to a different town in the area. Hopefully, they will catch him soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
