Man Wanted For Lewd Acts In San Diego Hospital Elevator

SAN DIEGO, CA – Authorities are seeking the public's help in identifying and finding a man wanted for committing lewd and lascivious acts with two minors at Kaiser Permanente Zion Medical Center in San Diego.

The suspect got into an elevator inside the hospital around 10:40 a.m. Aug. 25. Two 13-year-old girls were already inside the elevator.

While inside the elevator, the suspect attempted to hug and kiss both girls. He kissed one of the girl's hair and told both of them that they "looked pretty," authorities said. He also told them that he wanted to have sex with them.
