Largo Man Accused Of Stalking, Molesting 12-Year-Old Girl

LARGO, FL -- A 72-year-old man is in custody after being accused of stalking and molesting a 12-year-old girl.

On Feb. 22, the Largo Police arrested Abdulla Ndregjoni and charged him with aggravated stalking of a child under 16 years old and lewd and lascivious molestation.

The victim told police on Feb. 21 that Ndregioni, whom she did not know, repeatedly followed and harassed her over the course of several weeks. Detectives interviewed the victim the following day and she provided detectives with a video she had taken of Ndregioni walking away from her. This was the only identifying information detectives had on Ndregioni at that point.

On Friday, Feb. 22, Largo Police detectives performed surveillance of the school bus stop at 15th Avenue Northwest and Clearwater-Largo Road North, where the victims said Ndregjoni had followed her and touched her breast on Feb 21.

Detectives observed Ndregjoni stalking the victim, trailing her to her apartment complex.

When arrested, Ndregjoni admitted to repeatedly following, attempting to kiss and touching the breast of the girl. He said he knew she was under 16 years old.

The Largo Police are asking that anyone whose child may have been stalked by Ndregjoni to contact police.
