Disrespectful Elderly Man Harasses Woman

Occurred on June 13, 2018 / Surfers Paradise, Queensland, Australia

Info from Licensor: "I took my son and dog to the beach to play on a slightly overcast day. While playing with my 2-year-old son, I was approached by an elderly man who at first seemed like he just wanted to have a friendly chat. Things escalated very quickly and I was lucky to still be recording on my phone. He started to ask me personal questions and asked to take me for a coffee. I kindly refused the offer and he proceeded to hand my son a $20 not to give to me. After that, the man got close and put his arm around me and gripped firmly whilst complimenting my looks. He proceeded to put one hand on my head and tried to kiss me multiple times. I pushed him away and made it clear that I wasn’t interested but that didn’t stop him. I was in a complete state of shock and did not know how to react. I was nervously laughing throughout the video and trying not to aggravate the man. With one last attempt to kiss me I push away once again then he reaches over and grabs my breast then quickly leaves. I was so terrified I froze still trying to process what had happened. I quickly gathered my things and called police. When I left the scene, I saw the man parked on the side of the road. At this point, my rage had kicked in and now that my son was out of harm's way. I needed to tell this man that his actions were disgusting and completely unacceptable. I posted the video on social media that night to raise awareness of this sexual predator. Many women have since come forward stating the same man had done similar things to them too! It didn’t take long for the police to follow things up and the man handed himself into police the next day after the post went viral and his face was everywhere. He has been identified as a 78-year-old man that has a bad track record of 97 similar offences in the past! I will be taking the matter to court and pressing charges."
