BRIGHTON TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- Officers are stepping up patrols in Bradys Run Park after reports that several elderly men are asking for sexual favors from joggers.
"What can you say? I was surprised," Beaver County Sheriff George David said. "One was 81, one was 80, and the other individual was 74. And that really surprised me, their age."
Nobody has come forward to testify against the men, so police have been unable to file charges. But police said they've identified the men and told them to stay out of the park.
"They're taking their shirts off. One showed his privates," David said. "They're trying to get them in the woods and do sexual acts with them."
"It's rampant through here," said John Barry, of Rochester. "I'll be mountain biking through here, and you can see where the guys are sitting on benches and they're actually waiting for people to show up."
"I think it's very unfortunate," said Beth Boyd, of Brighton Township. "We have a nice facility here and I'm sure that people can go other places to do these things."
The sheriff’s department also received reports of a woman soliciting men, but the woman hasn’t been caught.
