When 37-year-old Admiral resident Duane Atwood was charged last July in connection with an indecent-exposure incident on Beach Drive, prosecutors said they expected to charge him “soon” for alleged telephone threats against an acquaintance. We’ve been watching court files ever since. This month, he was charged with one count of felony harassment, and his bail was doubled to $500,000.

Prosecutors allege that over the span of almost a year, November 2012 to October 2013, Atwood made phone calls to the victim, threatening to kill her, and they allege that he did so with sexual motivation. (He is a registered Level 2 sex offender because of a 2001 conviction for arson/burglary committed with sexual motivation – summarized in this story – and faces a charge of failing to re-register when returning to this state in 2010 after three years away.)

Charging documents say the victim had obtained an anti-harassment order against Atwood in late 2013. A Seattle Police detective discovered this while investigating him in the “flashing” case this past July. Several days after his arrest, the detective contacted the harassment victim, who said it had taken her a while to find out who had made more than a dozen harassing phone calls in the middle of the night, starting with sexual innuendo and progressing to threats of raping and murdering her. She told police that she knew him through a support group for people going through divorces but had never “hung out with him.”

According to the court documents, Atwood’s ex-wife also has a restraining order against him and told police that one of the reasons they divorced was that she found out he had, the detective wrote, “made calls of a ‘sexual nature’ to their friends.”

Atwood has been in jail for almost five months, and his next court hearing, in connection with the indecent exposure/failure to appear case, is set for December 30th. There is no mention in the newest court documents of whether he is still under investigation in connection with other “flashing” incidents.
