Austin police are searching for a predator targeting women at Lakeline Mall.

The first victim says the man approached her last Monday in the parking lot while in his car -- which is described as a 2002 Dodge. She says he made crude comments about her body and said he wanted to take pictures of her.

Police say the man blocked her in somehow, exposed and touched himself then attempted to sexually assault her.

Two days later, a female employee of a different store says the man followed her out of the mall. She says he tried to speak with her, but she confronted him and he went back inside.

"This has not been on the radar at all, then all of a sudden this guy shows up. The second victim didn't think it was that big of a deal and she wasn't going to report it until she heard about the first case and she thought, 'I better report this.' So, there may be others at other malls. We don't know yet," said APD Sex Crimes Detective Scott Stanfield.

Police released a composite sketch of the man Tuesday. He is described as 20 years old and 6' 0" tall. He has crooked bottom teeth. In both incidents he was well dressed. In the most recent sighting he was wearing a button down shirt, dark pants and dress shoes.

If you recognize the man, call CrimeStoppers at 472-TIPS.

Edit by me
The Mall is offering a Reward and so is crime stoppers

Thanks for the link, Mark. I've just emailed this to a lot of people who live/work in this area.

You can't tell from reading this article what color the offender is. Facts are stubborn things, so said John Quincy Adams, and to ignore them for the sake of political correctness is an ethical failure of a reporting agency and a disservice to the community.

Idk, that sketch looks like he has characteristically African-American features. (Hair mostly, nose/lips too. Skin's also shaded in.)
