Boy at park reports unknown man solicited him for lewd acts
WARREN, Ohio (WKBN) – A boy who was at Packard Park reported that he was solicited by an unknown man who offered him money to watch him perform lewd acts. The boy, whose age was redacted from a police report, and his mother called police around 1 p.m. Wednesday to report the incident. The boy told police that he was by the pond, waiting for family members to arrive to fish, when he noticed a man sitting in a dark-colored Ford SUV watching him. He said the man then got out of the vehicle and continued staring at him, according to the police report. The boy said he asked the man, 'You good, bro?' to which the man replied that he was just at the park, hanging out. He went on to say, 'I was at Perkins Park a little while ago, but there were no kids there,' the report stated. The boy told police that he thought the statement was odd, but said he did not respond. He said the man then asked if he 'wanted to make some money,' and when he questioned the man about what he meant, he said the man offered to pay him $150 to perform lewd acts while watching one another. The boy told police that the man got back into his vehicle when he told him that he was not interested, but he said he continued to watch him. He said he eventually left when he took out his phone and began taking photos of the man's car. He then called his mother, who called police. He described the man as being an approximately 60-year-old white man wearing black overall/suspender-type pants and a green t-shirt, with longer gray hair that was covered by some type of hat. Police said the photo appeared to show a newer-model Ford Explorer, either black or dark blue in color. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
