Sorry to hear it happened but will check the case tomorrow, “Caught” – if you have a case # and would consider sending it to us, in case I have trouble finding it on the police log … editor@westseattleblog.com

I had a similar experience tonight while I was out walking on Beach Drive. Guy in his vehicle pretending to ask for directions – masturbating. Was in a tan SUV, so don’t know if it’s the same guy. Got his license number and description, and police went to his house. He’s a sex offender. So, maybe we’ll get this guy off the streets!

Incredibly sad that so many people are blaming the victims. Telling them to stop and get closer when this perp could take the next step and grab them is not a good option. If they have the ability or opportunity to get more info great but better to be safe. And yes I understand the need for more info in order to get him off the streets and address the behavior. Neighbors blaming victims for doing what they need to to feel safe is dissapointing.

Jason, you are spot on with your comment. I guess these folks have not been followed before, since the first instinct for an average person is to quickly run away… fight or flight, right? But congrats to all those brave, calm, take_the_power_back people that will not run but actually stop, get closer and take a picture, take a long and good look at a license plate, pepper spray or get close enough to kick this dude in the balls. That sounds so reasonable, so I will be waiting for that report when this guy does it again.

Phabian – ‘together’ is subjective. Telling victims they’re doing a bad job is not really a sign of togetherness in my opinion. Some of you most together folks will put anyone down, even for the simple act of witnessing a man flashing. How many crimes have you folks solved this month?

If this ever happened to me and I had my wits about me, I’d point, laugh and yell ” it looks like a penis, only smaller!”
Then snap a photo and run off.

Jason – Some of us have it more together, yes.

This is disgusting. This pervert’s doing this to children and adults. Probably not much longer until he escalates.

I hope this is top priority for SPD.

With all the camera phones around today how come no one has a photo of this Jackhole or his car? Get a photo of the license plate as he drives away please.

So many of you operate so perfectly in every situation it’s hard to imagine we could ever have more than one incident of any kind around here with all the smartest, calmest, pepper-spray armed individuals living here.

My fiancé had a very similar experience while on a run a couple weeks back, she said she noticed a white Toyota 4runner with a bike rack on it and that it seemed to keep popping up while on her run. As she was running up California Way Sw near Hamilton park she noticed the vehicle again and as she passed she looked in the window and a guy was masturbating.

If I spot him – I promise to personally remove him from the streets :).

In reply to BMC.

I believe the commenter was just remarking that it is not far away. 1st guy was white, per the victim, as I added here: https://westseattleblog.com/2014/07/west-seattle-crime-watch-flasher-reported-in-admiral-area – the second person has a better description of car than perp as explained above … TR

36th & Myrtle is that newer park next on the grounds as the water tower (close to Guadalupe Church) – NOT HighPoint CC. Are we assuming the perb is a white guy? West side of 35th.
