Officers Looking For Man Who Exposed Himself to Children

Officers continue to look for a man who exposed himself to children outside Holy Rosary School.  On September 9th at approximately 1:15 p.m. three 9-year-old girls were sitting on the edge of the playground when they noticed the suspect sitting in his vehicle, a large white SUV parked the wrong way on 41st Avenue SW, facing northbound on the west side of the street next to the playground.  The suspect summoned the girls over to his truck.  As the girls got closer they saw that the suspect, who was sitting in the reclined driver’s seat, was not wearing any pants or underwear.  All three girls turned around and walked back toward the school building and went back to class where the incident was reported. 

There was no attempted or actual physical contact between the suspect and the three girls nor is there any indication that the suspect ever exited the truck.

The suspect drove off before the arrival of responding officers.  Officers conducted an area search however, the suspect remains at large.

The suspect is described as a white male in his mid to late 20’s with short dark hair and a heavy build. 

Officers notified school staff of the incident and disseminated the details of the incident and the suspect/vehicle description to all patrol officers working in the West Seattle area. 

Anyone with information about this incident or who may know the identity or whereabouts of the suspect or his vehicle is asked to call 911 or the Seattle Police Sexual Assault Unit at 206-684-5575 and refer to this incident.  Anonymous tips are welcome.

Sexual Assault Unit detectives are actively investigating the incident.
