Officers Seeking Public’s Help in Identifying Man Showing Explicit Video to Teen

Mount Vernon District Station – We are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who showed a sexually explicit video to a teenager yesterday. Officers were called to the Goodwill at 6220 Richmond Highway around 5:45 in the evening for a report of a man who had been following a teen throughout the store.
