Florida residents need to keep an eye out for a man who attempted to assault a 12-year-old girl. The girl jumped a fence to take a short cut through a church parking lot while walking home from school. The man also jumped the fence and ran after the girl. The man grabbed the 12 year old girl. He attempted to carry her away but stopped after she told him there were others in the area who were watching. The man was seen on surveillance video running away. LINK. This man is also suspected of trying to sexually assault two other girls. The video was posted on YouTube by the Manatee County Sheriff's Office in the hopes that someone will identify the man. The man was wearing a dark hoodie and walked with an unusual gait.
The sheriff's department said the man actually carried the girl to a low-hanging oak tree and attempted to sexually assault her before he ran away. The girl then ran to the church to report the attack. Two other incidents appear to be related. On Jan. 31, a 15-year-old girl was walking home when she was grabbed from behind and then sexually assaulted, according to Bradenton Police.

HOpe they get this pervert.
Unfortunately the video is not real clear.
This is even more creepy then the married congressman who sent a topless video of himself to an internet girlfriend.
I have mixed feelings about all the cameras around and the whole Big Brother watching us thing. But when time after time criminals are caught as a result of cameras capturing their image, it becomes hard to argue with such a decision. This also applies to abusive cops.
I agree the video is not that clear but what is important is his posture and walk, and to someone that knows him this will stand out to them.
