Police: Reward for Locating Molester Suspect

Authorities are offering a reward of up to $2,500 for helping to nab the man who sexually assaulted a seven-year-old girl in the White Plains Walmart last month, police said.

The money is being offered by New York Crime Stoppers and the White Plains Department of Public Safety.

The girl was stalked by the man—caught on security cameras—throughout the store's sprawling aisles on April 20, where he waited for her to part with her parent, police said. He then lured the girl farther away and attacked at 6:48 p.m., cops said.

In the snapshots, the suspect can be seen by a row of recycling receptacles, a baseball cap pulled over his forehead. Police describe him as a black male with a medium build, standing about 6-feet tall.

The suspect is likely in his mid-20s, and was wearing a Louis Vuitton ball cap—with the letters "L" and "V" on the front—dark-colored jeans and green-colored sneakers, authorities said.
