Just reading about this 2 month old story.  I have no tolerance for scum like this, so sharing.

Assaults of any kind are terrible.  Sexually preying on minors is beyond terrible. 

There are photographs everywhere. It is the call of photographers to see and capture those images.

It's so horrible people like this actually exist. Good that authorities got him and justice has stepped in.
