Unshaven, Older Man on Bench Allegedly Makes Indecent Proposal to Petaluma High-Schooler

Police are wondering if the public knows anything of this individual.

Police are seeking information on an unshaven, white man in his 60s, who reportedly propositioned a high school girl for sex last week as he sat on a D Street bench.

The 16-year-old told the Petaluma Police Department that on Thursday -- April 3 -- she was walking from Petaluma High School to the bus depot at Copeland and D streets when she passed by a man sitting on a bench near D and the D Street bridge.

The male allegedly engaged the girl in conversation and then asked if she wanted to have sex with him, according to officers.

The victim immediately left the area and nothing further occurred, police said.

The male was described as white, approximately 60 years old, 6 feet tall with a heavy build. He had medium-length blond curly hair, a mustache and was unshaven, police said.

The victim said she could not recall what he was wearing.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Petaluma PD at (707) 778-4372.
