Changed “grouper” to “groper” in the thread title at the OP’s request. How come I never get to these threads in time to make bad puns? Something fishy there… ---

He was charged with “Sinisterly following a woman”? Is there an actual law against “sinisterness?” ---

Maybe they’ll catch this guy next. The _serial butt slasher_ has been active in Virgina.

I was going to say that a friend of mine had an encounter with this guy, but it turns out that was a different perv who’s “working” the streets of Astoria and rides around on a bike. Here’s hoping they find that jerk next.
