A public speaker at the Pittsburg City Council meeting earlier this week demanded to know why city officials and police had failed to alert the public about an alleged sexual predator at a public pool following an alleged assault on a child more than a month ago.
On Monday, speaker David Manly said one of his young female relatives had been swimming at the municipal Buchanan Swim Center on the Fourth of July when a man pulled her under the water twice to penetrate the 11-year-old with his fingers.'It appears to me that this has been given a low priority as there was no notification sent to the public. This predator is out there. He's molesting our children,' Manly said to the City Council.
A reporter's trip to the closed swim center Wednesday confirmed there were no visible notices posted near the pool entrance. The Pittsburg Police Department's social media accounts had not published any notifications, and no press releases were distributed by the city.
