NYPD releases video of sex offender allegedly sexually abusing 13-year-old girl in NYC park

Police have released video and photos of a suspected sex offender who allegedly sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl in a Queens park last week.

According to a video and photos posted by the NYPD on social media, the young man was seen riding a bicycle on a sidewalk.

The 13-year-old girl was with a 13-year-old boy in Kissena Park in Flushing Meadows when the attacker pulled out a knife around 3:30 p.m. Thursday and forced the two to go to a secluded part of the park, police said.

According to police, the guy then took the two teenagers’ cell phones and sexually abused the girl.

“New Yorkers, we need your help finding this monster who held a child at knifepoint and sexually assaulted her in Kissena Park,” NYPD Deputy Chief of Operations Kaz Daughtry said in a post on X.

“If you know him or see him, call the NYPD at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) and help put him where he belongs: behind bars. All calls are anonymous. Let’s show him how New Yorkers come together to stop evil – he can run, but he can’t hide. We’re going to catch him.”

The suspected perpetrator was previously described by police as a light-skinned man in his twenties with a strong Spanish accent and a tattoo of a wild boar or similar animal with red eyes and red horns on the left side of his chest.

This is an evolving story.
