The suspect has been targeting women on hiking trails in Jefferson County — accosting them while naked, then fondling himself and sometimes the victims.

"The suspect's behavior, besides the fact that it's obviously shocking, is becoming more brazen, more aggressive," Kelley says."The last incident that we had was on Monday [July 24], and that's when he approached the woman and tried to kind of rip down her shorts and rip off her shirt. And so that was the most aggressive of each of his contacts with women.
On July 24, he struck again — confronting a female hiker while pleasuring himself before proceeding to"grab" her in an attempt to rip off her clothing."The suspect is described as a white male, twenty to thirty years old, fit/athletic build with dark-colored hair," the JCSO says."In each incident, the suspect has run off into the woods, avoiding capture."
Kelley adds,"We would have just simply done something with the three in one day. But based on the research that we've done, we think that they're all likely related. And that's why I need to let our public know, so we can try to catch a suspect and hold them accountable for this behavior."
