Honk News – (Miami Beach, FL) – A convicted sex offender was filmed “skipping and dancing” on the boardwalk in South Beach, Florida, following his latest alleged sex crime.
On December 31, Miami Beach police arrested 49-year-old Rasheed Jones following allegations of molesting a 14-year-old girl on the Boardwalk near Fifth Street the previous day. A report revealed that the girl was walking with her mother when Jones reportedly “reached out his hand and brushed her buttocks in an intentional and lewd manner.” As the girl turned to face Jones, he seemingly gestured for her to be silent by touching his lips.
The report states that the girl’s mother confronted Jones, who then fled the scene. Several individuals who witnessed the interaction between the woman and Jones notified nearby police officers about the situation. Jones escaped the area, but the mother informed the authorities about his behavior that same day.
