NEW YORK CITY - A man accused of spitting on a young girl in Queens and then groping her as he went to clean it off was arrested and faces a sex crime charge, according to police.
The alleged incident occurred Friday just after 8 a.m. near 71st Street and 54th Avenue in Maspeth. Police said a man approached a 12-year-old girl walking to school and spat his drink onto her. While appearing to clean up the mess he made, the suspect grabbed the girl's backside.
The man then attempted to sexually assault another 12-year-old girl moments later using the same ruse, according to police.
Kadeem Laguerre was arrested Wednesday and charged with first-degree sexual abuse in connection to the incident, police said. Attorney information for the 27-year-old Laguerre was not immediately available.
That groping incident was the second in just a span of days in the same area of Queens, as the suspects allegedly preyed on young girls on their way to school.
The other incident also involved preteen girls two days earlier, on Sept. 18, when a man used a dog to entice the girls into a conversation" while on a city bus in Elmhurst, according NYPD Chief John Chell.
