The victim said the suspect then simulated sex acts in front of her while asking her to take a picture with him.

Deputies say the victim told the suspect to leave multiple times, but he refused until she picked up her phone to call 911.

The victim said the suspect then left the area in his car.

While still on scene investigating the initial incident, deputies learned that a man matching the suspect’s description was parked at JB’s Fish Camp, approximately three miles away.
