Seattle has seen a recent righteous rise in lady-led anti-groper activity.
It all started when area woman Julia Marqand took to Twitter to publicly shame a man who groped her near Westlake Park, posting his photo all over social media until police took action and arrested the perpetrator, who, surprise surprise, ended up being a sex offender. Then yesterday, a group of women chased down a Pioneer Square man who had been grabbing women on the street until the police arrived to take him into custody.
Recent police reports are circulating about a mysterious new figure in this flurry of anti-groper activity: a wrench wielding clown.
Last Saturday, partygoers in Seattle’s Maple Leaf neighborhood told police that a highly intoxicated house guest was ejected from their home after he started acting inappropriately toward a female guest, attempting to “spoon” and “rub up on” her.
Not long after, the drunk groper returned to the party with a 1-inch gash on his head. He later told police that a “man dressed as a clown hit him with a wrench.” The man was sent to get stitches at Northwest Hospital. Police were unable to locate the vigilante clown, but did find a plastic wrench that “would not be capable of causing the victim’s injury.”
Gropers beware, the elusive Wrench Clown is out for you.
