El Sitherino Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 So today I decided to go to the mall and check out suncoast and look for ideas for gifts for family. As I was waiting outside suncoast for them to open a creepy old guy came up and started chatting. Obviously something was weird about him. Anyway, he started doing your stereotypical child molestor 101 routine. Trying to make conversation, ask about your hobbies, if you like to play PS2 or Xbox, if you have a computer, what you like to do in your spare time, and the final "Want to be friends?" type question. So about now I'm feeling a bit awkard, and he asks me some stuff about my personal life, of course I feed him some horse****, and then he asks me if I want to go for a walk. Naturally I respond in a negative, telling him I'm waiting for my boyfriend, to which he didn't catch on. Luckily a friend called me at this moment and I used it as my way out, told him I was late for class and had to leave. So I jetted out of there as fast as I could and drove home. When I got home I wasn't sure what to do about this, but I decided to call the cops just to at least alert them that there's a creepy guy at the mall that seems like he might be looking for kids/teenagers. Still waiting for the cop, after 2 hours , so I can talk to them in depth about what happened. I also decided to take a look at some stats on my area and apparently rape and molestation are going up, especially involving minors and young adults. Cops seem to be a little slow to respond to stuff like this though as opposed to petty crimes. So yeah, it's only just now noon and already weird stuff is starting to happen.

MdKnightR Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Well, on the bright side, perhaps a rumor such as this could keep the kids away from Suncoast and slow the spread of Anime in the USA. leaves to continue masterminding the downfall of the genre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChAiNz.2da Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Well at least you reported him IS. Now, if only the cops will do their job and at least follow up on it... Let us know if they (police) ever contact you again. As candid as we can take it here (on the forums) it's good to know that you did the "right thing" by reporting creepos like this... and before it gets way out of hand... stay on topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aash Li Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Sorry ^_^;; Another thing you could do is tell mall security, and tell sun coast, if suncoast sees a drop in their sales because kids are staying away from them because of Mr Pedo there, then they will complain to the cops; money talks louder than kids do. The cops in your town sound like the ones in the town I grew up in. They have benches scattered through out the town, but if you set on one for too long and a cop sees you then you get yelled at for setting on the bench (huh?). Yeah that happened to me. I asked him what they were for if not to set on, he just gave me a dirty look and I walked off. The town is small but slowly growing, so there isnt a huge amount of crime, so they have nothing better to do that harrass innocent people instead of trying to find actual criminals... speeders and the like... kids with their car stereos up so loud you can hear it a mile away... >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 Yeah, I already talked to mall security and they told me 3 cars showed up at the mall to watch for this guy. But they have yet to come to my house to finish up on the report. In about 20 minutes it'll have been 4 hours since I called, seems kinda retarded they aren't following up. I've also told my dad, so he'll be there incase the cops come while I'm gone, since I have things to do today and can't just wait around for the cops.

JediKnight707 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Whoa, thats like ultra disgusting. As a teenager (13) myself, that is like "whoa, thats freaky/creepy" If you ever see that guy again (hopefully you won't), sneak up behind him and kick him right in the nuts, and yell "thats from Jedi_Knight_707 at Lucasforums.com!!!! :hatchrun:" He'll think twice about messing with kids again : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Lion54 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 This is pretty disgusting. Its a good call on your part to alert the cops. Its also good that you alerted mall security because its unlikely the police will keep an officer there for very long. Security, on the other hand, is there anyway. I can't say I'm supprised they haven't showed up for a follow up yet. Legally speaking, there really isn't a lot they can do. While this creep may have intended to commit a crime, he didn't, at least not in this instance. Cops aren't all that interested in doing paperwork if its not even going to leed to an arrest. Hopefully, they do take down a statement because there is a good probablity he has done something like this in the past. He may be a known offender and assuming they spot him, they will know he is up to his old tricks. Just don't be supprised if they don't show up fpr a day or two. People that prey on children don't just do it once for sh**s and giggles. Its more than likely this man has a history of child crimes (though he may not have been caught). The more info they have, the better. The best thing is that you alerted mall security and the police to a potential "hot spot" for these people. Unless they are the Keystone Cops, they know that malls are one of these hot spots. That dosen't always mean that phediophiles are in the area though. Now they know at least one guy is (though there are probably more that are unreported). Hopefully, they will take approriate action. Who knows? He may even have a warrant or two out already. You could have just helped bring in a serious criminal they have been looking for. What I found pretty funny is that he decided to talk to you. I mean, you're not exactly meek looking. Most phedophiles look for children that are easy to control. You could have whooped him if he tried anything. Thats assuming he didn't have a gun, but he was in a public place, so it's unlikely he would use it there. These people don't like to advertise their intent to the world. So I just find it odd that he was talking to someone that could make a scene if he wasn't successfull drawing you to a private location. Of course, no one said he was very smart. Looks like you did a good thing here. Hopefully it helps take a sick man off the streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 What I found pretty funny is that he decided to talk to you... Yeah my friend and I were talking about that, and I told him he was about 5'5" maybe 5'8" and looked about 280-300+ pounds. And he just laughed that the guy picked me out, he said the guy probably has a thrill seeking kind of personality, so I was probably the kind of prey that'd get his jollies going. My friend's a psychology major so he'd know about all that stuff better than I since I only did 3 psychology courses in highschool. I remember the mall security guy I talked to asked me about myself (so they could check camera feeds), and he laughed and said if anything happened I probably coulda thrown the guy through the air.

The Doctor Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 That's disturbing. I hope for your sake that the guy is either put in jail or gets hit by a bus running after a twelve year old buy (eeewww). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannibal Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 WTG IS. Hopefully they'll track that guy down and warn him. Next time don't spend to much time talking to creeps like that. It's not safe. It's hard to be rude, but for your safety sometimes you have to do it. You should take lessons from my sister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hallucination Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Woah IS I thought you were a guy.... but then again you only said you had a boyfriend... I'm so confused lol. You did the right thing reporting him, but if it happens again just run as fast as you can into a mob and if he follows you scream rape if he touchs you.

IS can be a guy and have a boyfriend... You did the right thing reporting him, but if it happens again just run as fast as you can into a mob and if he follows you scream rape if he touchs you. And the problem with that is that in malls early in the morning when the shops are opening, there are no mobs to run into, just a bunch of old people running around "power-walking".

REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 @IS, you should have told the cops, "*sniffle* the mean old man stole my donuts" Cop: "PUT OUT AN APB, WE GOTTA NAB THIS GUY BEFORE HE GETS NEAR KRISPY KREME!!!" j/k @Ashley, "to which he didn't catch on." *half-alien X-files-kid* You have a very dirty mind...

El Sitherino Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 My boyfriend comment to him was in attempts to scare him off as 92% of molestors/rapists are disgusted by homosexuality. But I have infact had a boyfriend in the past, but that's really of no matter in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aash Li Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 its because the pedos dont see children sexually (despite what they do to them), its about how their bodies arent sexually mature, boys and girls all look pretty much the same when they are children. Its also about power and dominance, and plus the pedo most likely was traumatized by his dad (or mom) or some other male figure and cracked him.
