Conn. Man Arrested For NYC Bathroom Sex Attacks

NEW YORK (AP) ― Police have charged a 61-year-old Connecticut man with the sexual abuse of three children at two different public bathrooms in Brooklyn.

The NYPD said the Stamford resident followed an 8-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl into a public restroom on Thursday at Gravesend Park and sexually assaulted both of them. When the children began crying, the suspect fled.

The other attack took place about two hours later inside a bathroom at Diglio Playground. Again, when the 8-year-old female victim began crying, the attacker fled.

Police have charged the suspect with multiple counts of endangering the welfare of a child, sexual abuse and criminal sex act.

The three children are in stable condition at a local hospital.
