The victim’s boyfriend was home at the time, and the suspect ultimately fled the scene.
The next day around 12 a.m., the accused suspect followed a woman home after leaving a gentleman’s club on Spring Garden Street. Police say the victim tried to evade the suspect in West Norriton, and eventually went to Wawa to get help. The suspect was able to get away.
Around 5 a.m. the same morning, police say the suspect approached a woman while seated in her vehicle near the 3400 block of N. 11th Street. The suspect is accused of sexually assaulted her in an alley after holding her at gunpoint.
On May 17, around 9:30 p.m., police say the suspect followed a woman leaving a gentleman’s club on the 6700 block of Essington Avenue. The victim told police a man in a silver Dodge Charger followed her into the parking garage of her home. The victim was able to get away after a brief encounter with the man.
On May 18 around 12 a.m., police say a woman was returning from gentleman’s club on the 2700 block of S. Front Street when she noticed a man in her apartment complex. Police say the suspect attempted to approach the victim who started to scream for help. The suspect then fled the scene.
