Several Recent Sexual Abuse Hearings in Phoenix
A convicted felon has recently been arrested for claiming to be a rapist. He even threatened to rape an entire family and several children at the Hermosa Park on a Tuesday, according to the local police.
Fifty-six year old, Russell Theodore was arrested for the following charges: one count of luring a minor for sexual exploitation, one count of threatening and intimidating, and one more count of criminal trespassing in the first degree in a residential yard.
Theodore has been accused of confronting the victim as well as her twelve year old daughter near 20th street and southern avenue. He even told them that he was a “rapist”. Theodore (the suspect) had allegedly threatened to rape both of the girls as well as the other children nearby, According to the police reports.
The mother was luck enough to catch the attention of a park ranger. The ranger then followed Theodore and called the police. Theodore fled to a residential area at 20th Place and Roeser Road. That is where he got in trouble for the trespassing.
A second witness from the scene had told the local authorities that Theodore had actually been seen and heard threatening to rape several people. Theodore was then arrested and booked into the 4th Avenue jail. Theodore’s record wasn’t exactly clean to begin with, he was previously convicted of burglary, theft of means of transportation, and public indecency.
Thank goodness the authorities was able to catch this pervert before something happened to those women and children.
