Panty raider suspected of four sexual assaults

April 28, 2012

San Luis Obispo Police and University Police suspect one man is responsible for a string of four sexual assaults that have occurred on or near the Cal Poly campus during the past two months. [KCOY]

In each case, on a Thursday evening between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m., a man approaches the victim or victims from behind and tries to remove their panties.

In one instance, the suspect ran up behind three woman walking in the Grand Avenue parking structure, knocked one of the females down and robbed her of her underwear.

Two days ago, the suspect came up behind two girls walking on Hathway Avenue, put his hand up their skirts and tried to pull down their panties.

The San Luis Obispo Police Department and the University Police are working together to catch the attacker. Investigators are asking anyone with information about the about already known or unreported assaults to contact them through crime stoppers at 805-549-stop or slotips.org.

Panty Raider? Man you people need to get your shit together. Pantie raids are when frat boys break into sorority houses and steal underwear from a girl’s dresser.

Some guy who comes up behind a woman, knocks her to the ground and pulls her underwear off is called sexual battery.

When this moron gets caught, and he will, he’s going to go to prison. And when he gets out, he’ll be a registered sex offender for the rest of his life.

Does that sound like a prank to you? I bet it’s no prank to the girls who’ve been attacked.

Also, I believe the first attack like this was back in late March and was a guy in a car who turned around and came back and then attacked a woman walking down the sidewalk. That doesn’t sound like some prankster. It sounds more like a budding rapist getting the nerve up to fulfill his fantasies.

A few years ago there was a series of rapes in SLO involving some guy grabbing women on the sidewalk and raping them in the bushes. They never did solve those crimes.

Maybe Cal Poly women should start wearing jeans all the time. Then we’ll see if this moron is indeed just a panty raider or something more serious.


I would also add to the previous divinical scripts, that if the authorities want to CATCH these Smithite drawer dropping jockeys, that they set up a STING at Farmer’s Market with a booth that serves HOT CHOCOLATE ( LDS bait ) and STAFFED by mini-skirt wearing lasses suitable for such attire.


Heck, even if they perp(s) don’t fall for it, it would likely STILL turn a profit !


Play some Donny and Marie Osmond music to get their attention !


If this is a prank, aka, “sharking”, then it sounds to me that the culprit in this act is trying to find the elusive Mormon secret underwear on these unsuspecting Sisters of Eve! I am sure that the first one that pulls this off, no pun intended, will get the prize of their sorority and will be held in high esteem.


I am being serious, as I always do, but truthfully, small symbols are woven into these Mormon secret garments, which represent certain temple covenants. These symbols are to remind the wearer of their commitment to Christ. Obviously, if these symbols weren’t on the Mormon secret underwear, they would forget about committing to Christ. *cough*


What’s next? Mormon secret underwear with a buzzer sewn within, and once going off on a scheduled basis, this will remind the Mormons to remember their commitment to Christ too?


That being said, I have to get back to my many true Christian ministries instead of writing about questionable Mormon traditions.


Brother Ted, I am guessing that you were as upset as I am to return from our respective ministries this morning to find this alarming news item occuring in our fair city to our “fair’ ladies.


indeed, you may be correct that this is some peculiar tradition of the so-called LDS cult. This leads me to suspect that it may not be one perp, but actually a series of younger deviants, er devotees excuse me, doing a ‘rite of passage’ by engaging in a “scavenger hunt” for ladies undies.


Let me give you a brief and intimate history that goes right to the fabric of the situation ( no puns intended ) : This a practice begat by none other than Joseph Smith in the early days that they called “blooming”. There has been some thought that it was his younger brothers Willie and Don Carlos that started it.. As is commonly known, back then not only was polygamy permissable and preached, it was more or less requisite for every coming of age male in the sect buld a “herd” of wives. Young women were in fact called “heifers” and considered not much more than chattel and breeders This “blooming” was part of the inspection process …just like a farmer buying a horse looks at its teeth to determine the real age of the beast. In short ( again, NPI ), just ckeckin’ for various reasons. You can let your imagination run like a goose here, but this post might get culled if I go into detail.

In those early days, especially within Mormon households, fellows quickly learned to ‘test and try before you buy’ , as claims of purity and innocence were often just that.. Brothers and sisters, cousins, and especially fathers and daughters were “sealed” in consanguination . Kind of a 19th century version of primae noctis, but even more than that.


Within the congregants, this was pro forma behavior, but then the younger Smith brothers would venture out of Nauvoo to surrounding communities. Stories of these antics prevailed when they were in Loraine, in Marcelline, in Carman, In Joy, and in Adrian. One really unpleasant experience happened when they were in Beardstown.

It was after this that Joseph Smith and another brother, Hyrum, were arrested and in Jail at Carthage where it was stormed by a mob of 200 angry fathers and husbands of assaulted girls and wives. These male relatives wore painted faces, found the Smiths and two companions: Willard Richards and John Taylor.. In the melee that followed, the Smiths were shot and killed. Taylor was shot five times, but survived.

The rest of the clan then scattered ..most to the familiar Utah locale, wher the new self-appointed ‘prophet’ said, ” I don’t care how many you bring, just Bringem Young ! “.


This could very well be one mere deviated prevert, or it could be a tribe of ‘lost boys’ in a riualistic boxer rebellion.


“I am sure that the first one that pulls this off, no pun intended, will get the prize of their sorority and will be held in high esteem.”

Huh?? Guess you don’t know the difference between a sorority and a fraternity. I guess that really doesn’t surprise me.


Cindy,


This is the best you can do subsequent to your “Jesus Slap Down” that I gave you in the other threads? In your grasping for the proverbial straws, once again, you become child like and continue to try in vain to take the lime light off of you once again because of your hermeneutic spin doctoring of the bible.


Just let it go. The only thing that you can ever hope for in the future is to gain a modicum of biblical knowledge. I have forgotten more than you’ll ever know about the Judeo-Christian Bible, so accept this fact and move on the best way you can.


PRAISE JESHUA ,, Brother TED!


These HEATHENS and PAGANS and HEELOTS here HATE both you and myself for PREACHING the TRUE CHRISTIAN GOSPELS ..the EXACT word of GOD HIMSELF…PRAISE !


THEY DENY it ! WE KNOW where they stand !


They are FALSE Christians and fakers, PHONIES that PREY upon the weak !


Woe, Woe, WOE unto them ; for OUR CHRISTIAN GOD will SMITE them as promised !


Instead of you yahoos arguing about the heading being accurate or too lenient, how about someone asking for a description of the perp? If a group of women were attacked, they definitely observed the perpetrator.


The victims described the suspect as a man with an olive skin complexion, about six feet tall, wearing a dark grey zip-up hoodie and jeans. The victims say the man had dark brown or black hair with a buzz cut.


Officers say that [other] victim described her attacker as a light skinned Hispanic man in his 20’s. She says he was wearing a dark colored long sleeve shirt, blue jeans and a dark colored beanie.

The term Panty Raider, or Panty Thief implies good natured tomfoolery from years past. What happened here was a sexually related, physical attack. Why make light of it like it was a night out with some Delta House frat boys? Report a crime as such when it is clearly more than a minor incident, or risk your reputation as a portal for local news.


This is “sport” on the other side of the Pond. . .called “sharking”. Google the word and see for yourself. Wondered when it would show up here. . .


I looked it up and you’re right, people are even making video’s of the assault! Pulling down girls tube tops or panties if they are wearing a skirt. I knew there was something about this that sounded more like some sort of sordid a game. I told somebody today that I thought whoever was doing this thinks that he is funny. I can’t believe this has actually caught on in so many places. We need to put out decoys to catch this guy and make an example of his “sharking”. I wonder if there is a second person (a sidekick) who is making video’s undercover and going unnoticed?


Check out this “sharker” and all the various antics. It’s exactly what the girls here are describing.


http://www.break.com/topics/sharking/


We need a video example to learn from.

I think you would be a good decoy, but a sample vid of you flashing tata’s would be mYBE ok.


DON’T KNOW , but i’m thinking cupcakes at best ! If at all . 1


If the guy has a dedicated time frame it should be easy to solve. Send down a couple female undercover cops in skirts for a few hours in that time frame. You may or may not get him but I rather see them at least try rather than do nothing.


yeah maybe we could get the guys from Law and Order to come and solve this for us. “Dedicated time frame? Just like on television right?


Go back and reread the article. I would direct you to the first line of the second paragraph. So now what do you say? I was commenting on what I read.


I am a firm believer in the public’s “right to know” and have read many different media sources over the years and have been an enthusiastic reader of Cal Coast News since its inception. I have sort of glossed over criticisms of CCN having a “slant” to the journalistic standards for the reporting and writing here because I truly believe that CCN is really trying to get stories out that no one else wants to touch or report on, so believe me when I say that I am truly sorry to see some of the sophomoric headlines and writing being posted here. This article is a prime example; the headline: “Panty raider suspected of four sexual assaults” to me, attempts (knowingly or not) to downplay that the man behind these assaults is in need of some professional help, AND these are “assaults”. I have a daughter, a wife, three sisters and various other women that I come into contact on a regular basis; I would not want any of them to ever have an incident like this sicko attacking these young ladies. I realize that these young women are not being raped, nor has there been an attempt by this person, but sexual assault isn’t about sex, it is about the “power” of the attacker imposing his will on his victims, whether they are raped, beat up or had an attempt to steal their under ware: is still ASSAULT. Please stop trying to be “clever” or cute in you headlines or article writing; stick to the facts, something CCN has done very well with since it started. Thank you.


Thank you, bob. Well said.


It’s not a funny issue at all. Actually, it’s quite scary since this pervert is brazen enough to attack females who are walking together. What if he’s armed w/a knife or gun?


Let’s have a follow-up interview with the young women and see if THEY think it’s humorous to have the $#%^ scared out of you while being violentally knocked to the ground by a sicko…not something they’ll soon forget.


The guy attacks on Thursday nights between 11:PM – 1:AM. He tries to reach up ladies skirts and pull down their underwear and then he runs away. Yes I know that this sort of stuff can escalate and he needs to be caught but in the mean time, I can’t help but laugh at his MO. Although I do feel sorry for the fright that he has put his victims through as they have no idea what he may do or not do when they’re being accosted. I guess the girls need to pay attention to when his weekly 2 hour Thursday night spree is in effect and hold on to their panties or stay off the unbeaten paths until a decoy nabs him.


By the way, the headline here is very strong, even stronger than the Tribunes. It does use the words SEXUAL ASSAULT.


Cindy: Yes, you are correct that the words SEXUAL ASSAULT are in the headline, but come on, the very first two words are PANTY RAIDER; doesn’t that seem “sophomoric” or juvenile to you? Before writing my first comment here on this thread, I did not bother to click the link to the reporting on KCOY; I just did that and not once did their article use the word “panty” or “panties”, instead they used “underware”. KCOY’s headline was “Police Investigating Fourth Sexual Assault Near Cal Poly Campus” which, IMO, gives the article the full gravity that sexual assault should have. Cindy, I feel you are attempting to justify the lame headline CCN gave this story; I would think that as a woman yourself, you wouldn’t find anything “funny” about any sexual assault ever. We are going to have to agree to disagree on this one.


Bob, a good headline makes the story. More likely for those in the Student population to pay attention to a headline and read the article. I think the headline is fine and that is exactly what this pervert is trying to do, take panties. Now, put on your big boy panties and move on.


Interesting what a “good” headline is to some ….


Seems like more people are wanting to justify a lame humor attempt at a headline rather than agree that sexual assault is a crime that can victimize a large percentage of our population who then feel that they probably shouldn’t report any such incidents towards themselves for fear that they will be made fun of, you know, “boys will be boys” and other such dismissive attitudes. I hope no female in your world ever has such an attack perpetrated upon them. It is way past the time when actions like these attacks are dismissed as “pranks”, that all people need to be accountable for their actions and the resulting fallout from those actions. We males need to “grow up” and be mature about such behavior, not “put on our big boy panties and move on”. I am moving on, on to the reality that assault is assault, period; allowing predators of any stripe to behave however they wish is not acceptable and should not be tolerated by an aware society that values equality for all.


This guy isn’t bothered by groups of women….I guess the next solution is to stop wearing skirts.


Either that or don’t wear any panties! ;)


Yes, that’s a sensible solution that I can fully support! Down with underwear!


Please give us guys a visual before i give a THUMBS UP .


It’s only fair.


Cindy,


Your facetious statement is outright ungodly! You call yourself a Christian? What do you think Jesus is thinking about you after your off color heretical statement? Shameful.


Then again, your unconventional statement might have been a Freudian Slip! Whereas, you secretly want to be the decoy that you mentioned previously, and therefore want to be attacked in this same manner for some sort of perverted satisfaction! How ungodly can you get?


I will pray for you tonight.
