"Investigators say the same man approached two women in different encounters, allegedly grabbing one victim's buttocks in late February and a different victim's groin in early March, then running off on foot. Authorities have described the acts as quick and opportunistic and are urging anyone with footage or information to come forward."
"Under New York Penal Law §130.52, forcible touching means intentionally touching another person's sexual or intimate parts to degrade that person or to satisfy the actor's sexual desire. The statute specifies that forcible touching 'includes squeezing, grabbing or pinching.' The offense is classified as a class A misdemeanor."
"The post included still photos of the man being sought and described him as a light-complexioned male who was last seen wearing a black jacket, black pants, a light-colored sweater and black sneakers. The alert notes that anyone with information may be eligible for a reward of up to $3,500."
