I have a similar story. In the small town where I worked on the PD we had one of the largest state owned campgrounds in New England. The campground was like a mini-city that could accommodate up to 7000 campers on a busy weekend. Something we all ought to remember is that campgrounds and pedophiles are synonymous, they are prime preying grounds for them. One afternoon we received a call from the State Park that there had been an assault that had taken place in the park and we were requested to respond; due to budget cuts the park police had been eliminated. Upon arrival there was a severely injured man there. He appeared like one of those cartoon characters who had a bomb go off in their back pockets, torn clothing and all, total bruises and lacerations about his body and bleeding from his mouth; really a mucked up appearance. He "said" that he had been assaulted by a group of campers. Upon further investigation it was determined that this guy had offered $5 to a young girl (5-7 year old) while she and her older brothers were going to the camp store on a narrow, heavily traveled path that he kids used to go to the camp store. The older brother realized what was going on with this guy, he grabbed his sister and ran back to the campsite to tell his parents what had happened. The unfortunate part of the story "for this poor victim" of this serious assault was that the parents of this young girl were at a weekend camping trip with their entire martial arts club. This guy never fell off of a curbing, however he did get a lesson in martial arts for free. Investigation showed that after the parents ran this guy down and confronted him about what he tried with their daughter he tried to assault the young girl's parents. He was charged with two accounts of assault upon the two parents of the little girl he propositioned. We did have prior complaints, similar to this one, by a person who matched this guy's description, however we could never catch this guy. Those complaints stopped after this guy was arrested.
