PARK SLOPE — POLICE ARRESTED the serial groper known as the “Park Slope Prowler” after a rash of incidents that terrorized women near Prospect Park, as first reported by the Brooklyn Eagle. William Nuesi, 23, who lives on Sterling Place several blocks from the park, was arrested at noon Thursday and charged with four counts each of forcible touching and harassment for the incidents that began in June and escalated through August. At least four women reported he crept up behind them and grabbed their buttocks and private areas in an increasingly aggressive manner. One victim posted on the Park Slope Reddit thread, “Women, please be careful in this area after dark. This incident felt violent and I believe his crimes will escalate.“

Councilmember Shahana Hanif (D-39) had asked the 78th Precinct to temporarily assign more patrols to the area. Read the full article here.
