Sexual assault in Seagrove

[heartbren]

I agree! I am a single female and live alone. I keep my doors locked, but when someone wants to get in they get in. I think a sketch of this guy would have been the responsible thing to do. Enough people have seen him dressed or mostly naked. Anyway tourists and locals need to know so we can all be safe. We need the tourists but it seems sometimes people forget about the locals with this kind of stuff. We are very important for the impact on the economy here especially in the off season. I am just glad they caught the guy and not happy about not knowing about this as it has gone on for quite sometime. Walking around naked!!!

All the reports I have heard about these incidents, it is only because of our Walton County law enforcement that he was caught and only because the WCSO kept digging up more evidence they have been able to potentially link him to so many crimes.

He has records in both neighboring counties and has apparently committed many more crimes there than here, but it was the Sowal crimes that got him caught.

Though I am rather pissed that I heard NOTHING about these incidents despite living in his target area for years and even calling the cops because I thought there was someone lurking outside my bedroom window!

That is what is getting to me too. I am proud WCSO does a great job of tracking down people but maybe if us common folk (locals & tourists both) had more info and knew this was going on we would have been able to look out a little hareder and help them find the perv sooner.

No Kurt, I think you have your wires crossed. Several incidents of a suspicious person, nude at times, were called in. Putting out a flyer or other form of notification would have been a nice preventive measure. But, it was not done. It is MY opinion, it was not done as to not scare our tourists. See the above post for reference from someone with first hand knowledge.

The public has a right to be informed of police activity. It should not be a secret. Protect the locals first.
