Police investigate reports of another flasher in West Seattle

Police are searching for a suspect after another flasher has been reported in West Seattle.

According to Seattle Police Detective Renee Witt, a girl was walking home from Denny Middle School on Monday when she noticed a man, sitting half-naked inside a parked car.

“The man called out to her and when she looked over he was touching his genitals, and was basically trying to get her to come over to his vehicle,” says Witt.

The girl turned around and ran to a nearby home where she hid underneath a pickup truck. Witt says the girl thought the man was searching for her.

The suspect drove away and the girl was able to get to safety.

According to Witt, there have been at least six reported flashings in West Seattle in the last few months. “We don’t know if they’re connected, but detectives are looking into that possibility.”
