Edmonds Community College Campus Security and the Lynnwood Police Department have received multiple reports of a man exposing himself to students of Edmonds Community College off campus.
In two of these alleged incidents, students were waiting for public transportation at marked bus stops on Highway 99 when approached. The most recent incident occurred near campus on 68th Avenue West when the subject asked the victim to enter his vehicle. In all of the reported incidents, the victims were Asian females.
It is unclear at this time if all incidents involved the same perpetrator or if each incident had a different perpetrator.
In a majority of the incidents, the subject(s) are described as a Caucasian male, approximately late 40s to early 50s, 5-foot-9 to 6-0 in height, wearing a black jacket, blue jeans, and a baseball cap. Subject(s) were reported to have short, close-cropped hair, black in color, with some grey. The subject(s) were also reported to be wearing round, silver framed glasses. In one report, the subject was observed driving a dark blue, four-door sedan.
