Frederick, Md. (DG) – The Frederick County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an assault reported at a Walmart store on Guilford Drive earlier this month.
Deputies say the incident happened on April 22nd, when an adult woman told authorities she was shopping with her young child and was approached by a man. According to investigators, the suspect told the victim she had something on her buttocks, then brushed and squeezed her before leaving the store.
Through their investigation, deputies identified the suspect as 19-year-old Alcides Barahona of Frederick. Surveillance footage reportedly shows the suspect lingering near the victim and appearing to watch her before the encounter.
Barahona has been charged by criminal summons with Second Degree Assault and Fourth Degree Sex Offense. Investigators say there is concern the suspect may have targeted other victims in similar incidents.
