16-Year-Old Arrested For Groping, Robbing Woman In University District Alley
Seattle police arrested a 16-year-old boy in the University District last week after the teen cornered a woman in an alley, and then groped and robbed her.
The woman was walking through an alley behind the University District Safeway at 47th and Brooklyn around 7:30pm on April 8th when the 16-year-old and another 19-year-old man approached her and asked her if she wanted to buy some crack cocaine.
When the woman declined, the 16-year-old pushed her into a wall "with his hands pressed against her chest." The 16-year-old pinned the woman to the wall, the report says, and covered her mouth when she tried to scream. He then put his hand under the woman's shirt and groped her breasts and told her "you got small boobies," a police report says.
The report says the man then took his hand out of the woman's shirt and asked her, "What else you got?" as he shoved his hand into her coat pocket.
The man stole $25 from the woman and told her "I will kill you if you call the police or tell anybody."
The report says the 19-year-old man stood by during the incident, laughing.
Both men left the scene but were arrested by police at 45th and Brooklyn a short time later.
The 16-year-old boy was booked into the Youth Service Center for robbery, indecent liberties, and harassment. The 19-year-old man had a warrant out of Kent, but Kent police declined to take the man in to custody.
