Sex Offender Allegedly Confronts Boy
PLATTE COUNTY, Mo. -- A Platte County man came to the rescue of a boy allegedly being confronted Tuesday by a registered sex offender.
Prosecutors charged the man with third-degree assault, because he allegedly put his arm around the 13-year-old boy, KCTV5's Robb Yagmin reported live on "KCTV5 News at 6 p.m."
A sign outside the Chapel Woods subdivision ind
cated that residents would call police. That rang true Tuesday morning, and law enforcement officers called the man who called them a hero, Robb said.
More than 200 kids go to Plaza Middle School for
summer classes.
One 13-year-old got a lesson long before he walked in the doors Tuesday morning.
"He learned a v
ery good lesson about strangers. Do not approach strangers or talk with them," said Capt. Frank Hunter, of the Platte County Sheriff's Department.
The Sheriff's Department said the teen offered to help a strange man who was in his neighborhood, and that was when the man put his arm around him, Robb reported.
"The kid wanted to get his bike and go on to school, and he couldn't do that without getting up close to the individual. He wouldn't do that and maintained his distance, which he should have done," Hunter said.
David Taylor called police.
"It just didn't look right, the young man's body language, and ho
w they were sort of interacting wasn't right, (and I ) just turned around and stopped and said, 'Is everything okay? Is there anything I can do to help you?' ... My thought was maybe he&
#39;
d had a wreck or fallen off his bike."
Officials arrested Mohinder Singh.
"He is a registered sex offender with us. Indecent exposure is what he had been convicted of. He had p
riors on other incidents, but not related to any sex crimes," Hunter said.
Robb went to Singh's address on the updated Platte County sexual offenders list.
Officials told Robb he hadn't lived there for four months. He was evicted for allegedly being drunk and constantly belligerent, Robb reported.
Despite Singh's past, parents in the quiet neighborhood were concerned that it happened at all.
"Watch your kids. Watch your grandkids. Watch all the other kids that are out here playing too. If you see anything suspicious, call the police," said Jack Williams,
a concerned grandparent.
Taylor didn't think he was a hero. He just did what he thought was right and what he hoped someone would do for his son.
As for Singh, it was up t
o the st
ate of California, because that was where the initial crime allegedly took place, on whether a third-degree assault charge in Missouri warranted a violation of his probation, Robb reported.
