Police Seek Man Who Groped Girl, 10, At Renton Walmart

RENTON, WA - Renton police are trying to find a man who allegedly groped a 10-year-old girl at the Renton Walmart recently, according to Renton police. The incident happened Sunday afternoon at the busy store along Rainier Avenue South.

The girl told police that the man, described as about 30 years old, was following her around the store. The girl found herself alone in an aisle with her cousin, which is when the man started touching her.

"The man came up, groped her, made some comments about paying or buying her a board game so that they could play and then eventually went away," Renton police Commander David Liebman told Q13.

The man might have followed other children around the store that day, according to police. Police said a 5-year-old girl reported being approached by a man at the Walmart Sunday night. The man offered the girl cookies.

If you recognize the suspect or know anything about what happened Sunday, contact Puget Sound Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
