Police released pictures Thursday of a man they say followed a 13-year-old girl down a Queens street and tried to pay her for sex — continuing to stalk the youngster even when she ran away — in the hope the public could help in apprehending the prowler.
The man started following the girl on 97th St. between Northern Blvd. and 34th Ave. in Jackson Heights around 7:35 a.m. Wednesday and offered her money to perform a sex act, according to the police. When the girl tried to get away from him, he continued following her before fleeing southbound on 97th St.
Cops released pictures of the man, who is bald and wearing glasses, a black short-sleeve button-down shirt, light-wash jeans and sandals, and may be in his 30s or 40s.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
