According to police, the man left in a dark-colored car with a sunroof.
Ed. Note: The victim's age was originally reported as 9. The story has since been updated.
I was there last night buying a cell phone case. Lots of freakazoids there....
What are you in for? Groping Walmart...
"The Walmart Groper." - destined to go down in history as one of the most villainous names ever.
Ah, the people of Walmart!
KOMO, please block Spammer jackcollen1. Really tired of seeing this spam garbage.
Thank you!
Piece of crap low life scum gropes a 9 year old. They followed him around and was able to see him leave but didn't get a vehicle make, model and license plate number? All they come up with is "dark-colored car with a sunroof", what's up with that? Are they frickin' blind or don't know how to spell or read? Pretty lame. This guy should be behind bars now. Hopefully they have more info but for some reason decided not to include it in the story.
@69GTÂ Kinda looks like it was dark out, but you are perfect, right?
@69GT He would have never made it out of the store had he touched one of my children. He would be easy to recognize, with extremities at unnatural angles and screaming for mercy.
Ick - that poor girl! Brrrr.... ick. I hope they catch this creep!
He frequents the Auburn Walmart as well. I have seen him in there a few times. What a sicko.Â
God, what a creep! Just can't go anywhere without these dirtbags around.
Great response time Federal Way police! Way to go!
That sweet argyle sweater is very slimming.
Oh man! I had SO many jokes until I saw the pervert touched a 9 year old. Now I just want to kill him.
With the money Walmart makes you would think they'd have a better camera system. Those pictures suck!
@Seahawker Guaranteed those aren't Walmart's pics. Walmart has body scanners at each exit that would put the TSA to shame - they probably have this guy's DNA and an arrest will be imminent.
@KOMO_Sapiens The only body scanners WalMart has are these perverts that frequent the place.
@KOMO_Sapiens - LOL - you are sick! Walmart?
@Seahawker I think they were cellphone shots and I agree that their surveillance probably had higher quality images...they just must not have been as identity revealing.Â
I know that what these parents did was the "right" thing to do legally speaking, but if I had a daughter and someone groped her...he would have me groping his face with my fist while my wife was taking my daughter to talk to management. A lot of restraint demonstrated by these parents.
@aintno1special - no kidding! Some guy tried to get me into his car when I was 13 - I screamed (and I wasn't and am still not a screamer) - I was close to home ( 2 houses down on the corner of the street) and my Mom heard me and she was inside his car screaming in his face before I could blink an eye. I'll never forget it. My Dad said if he had been there the guy would have been punched out beaten to a bloody pulp.
@aintno1special There had to be something she could have grabbed to beat him with.
@aintno1special I still picture myself smashing, grabbing and beating this man with everything I could use at my disposal. Ugh! Friggin' scumbag.
Right on par for a Wallmart.
