Sex Offender Peeping Chinese Olympic Swimmers in Locker Room
This is simply bizarre:
Female Chinese Olympics swimmers are “tapering” – dialing down the rigor of their workouts – at their Leeds training camp before the Games officially begin on Friday.
What the women didn’t expect was Declan Crosbie.
Three of China’s elite female swimmers were in a locker room at a university pool last week when they noticed a man inside a locked toilet stall, peering over the top of the stall at them. The swimmers alerted a pool manager and a security guard who asked the occupant to come out.
“When they challenged him, he answered in a lady’s voice,” said Karen Williams, a local prosecutor.
When he emerged, the man was “dressed smartly” – unless you count his fly being open. He fled the scene but was later arrested.
Mr. Crosbie, 25, from Leeds, pleaded guilty to trespassing with intent to commit a sexual offense and will be sentenced next month. British media reports say he has been on the Registered Sex Offenders list due to previous convictions for climbing onto a roof to film a woman taking a shower and “peering at women under leisure center cubicles,” according to The Telegraph newspaper. He was also jailed after “he was found inside a house standing over a sleeping woman” with his trousers down.
The story was the most searched item last Friday on Baidu, China’s largest search engine.
