Serial groper along "the View"

In separate incidents, police say an unidentified man grabbed three young girls from behind and groped them as they walked on streets around Belmont and Bellevue streets (“the View”), overlooking Echo Park in Los Angeles, CA. In two of the incidents a lone girl was walking to school along a pedestrian walkway. In a third incident, he groped a 12-year-old girl walking with her mother. Chances are he’s groped other girls who haven’t reported him.

From ABC News in Los Angeles, CA:

“The suspect is described as a Hispanic man with a dark complexion, between 18 and 30-years-old, about 5’4″ tall, around 150 pounds.  He has short black hair, a mustache, and acne.  Anyone with any information is asked to call Rampart Division detectives at (213) 484-3624.”
