Man molested 2 children after climbing in bedroom window, police say

The Atlanta Police Department is asking for the public’s help identifying a man accused of molesting two children.

Police released a sketch of the man they say entered an apartment through a bedroom window off McDaniel Street and Northside Drive between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. on Oct. 14.

The man molested the 4-year-old and 5-year-old sisters who were sleeping in the bedroom before he exited back out the window, according to police.

Neighbors returned home to find APD flyers of the suspect wedged in their doors.

One neighbor, who asked us not to use her name, told Channel 2's Tyisha Fernandes she has seen the suspect before, hanging out at a gas station across the street.

“I don’t know if he lives around here, but he be over here at the store with a bunch of dudes,” she said.

The neighbor hopes someone can identify the suspect soon, because if he’s capable of what police say he did, she believes he will do far worse.

“If he’ll do it to someone else’s children, what makes you think he won’t do it to his own?" she said.

Anyone with information about the man in the sketch can contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8577 or online at www.StopCrimeATL.com. You can remain anonymous. A reward of up to $2,000 is being offered.
