Several women in Denver were “inappropriately touched,” according to Denver police, who are on the lookout for a serial groper described as a 5-foot-7, stocky man in his 20s with a Spanish accent. The suspect struck over the weekend in the Cheesman Park and Capitol Hill neighborhoods, writes The Denver Post. Tristan Swartz, who lives in Capitol Hill, tells 7News that women should take action if they see a suspicious character lurking: “It’s never a bad idea to go to the other side of the street. You can pick up your cell phone and act like you’re making a call. Look right at them and make sure they know that you know they’re there. If you need to, step into a store for a second to let them go by.” The suspect also might have spiky black hair or wear a baseball cap and possibly a mustache.
