Girl Molested by Stranger Driving Her to School: Cops

AURORA, IL — A 10-year-old girl said she was “inappropriately touched” by a man she accepted a ride from while on her way to school.

According to the Aurora Police Department, the girl was walking to Allen Elementary School at around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday when a man pulled up in a black, four-door sedan at the intersection of Symphony Drive and Linden Avenue and offered her a ride.

Police said the girl was running late for school so she accepted the ride.

“Once she did, she said the man inappropriately touched her before dropping her off in front of Allen School in the 700 block of South Farnsworth Avenue where she is a student,” police said.

When she got to school, the girl told another student what happened, who then told a school administrator.

The man was described as being Middle Eastern or Hispanic and between 30 to 40 years old with black hair and a thin mustache.
