Woman Indecently Assaulted In Pittsburgh Park: Police
Pittsburgh Public Safety officials said police responded to a report from a woman who told them she had been running on Tranquil Trail when a man approached her from behind and proceeded to fondle her. She got away from him and called the police.
A short time later, officers received another report of lewd conduct by a man matching the same description inside the park lawn bowl. The caller said he was masturbating and recording himself on his phone before he turned the screen to film her.
A third person later reported that a man wearing a red hoodie had been following women around the park and was now sitting on a bench on Tranquil Trail. Police made contact with the man and was positively identified by the first woman as the person who followed and assaulted her.
Police arrested Isaiah Rivers, 19, of Penn Hills. In addition to indecent assault, Rivers is charged with indecent exposure, harassment and open lewdness.
