woman's posts pic of man who groped her. 200 say they were groped by the same guy

[Liberal_in_LA]

A Seattle woman has shamed a suspected groper by uploading photos of him to her Twitter account.

Julia Marquand, 28, took a handful of photos of known sex-offender Daryl Sharma, who walked up beside her on a sidewalk near Westlake Park in the city and supposedly touched her inappropriately.

After he tried to calmly walk away from the incident, Marquand followed him and took a collection of snaps on her cellphone.

In response, he tried to apologize in what she believes was 'damage control'.

The Seattle Police Department acknowledged Marquand's frustration and confirmed a detective was contacted by DOC officers after they recognized the man in photos the victim circulated on Twitter.

Sharma is said to have a history of groping and is a level 3 sex offender - meaning he is most likely to re-offend. 

Following Marquand's tweet, she claims 200 people have come forward with allegations the same man has made advances at them.

In 2011, he was accused of groping a woman on a bench at Seattle's University Village. 

He was convicted twice in 2003 on assault charges related to rubbing himself against a woman and later grabbing another woman’s behind. 

After his actions were noticed on Twitter, Sharma was taken back into custody at the King County Jail on Wednesday for violating his probation.

1. Thanks for posting. Let's keep publicly shaming these perverts.

[Recursion]

2. Good for her. She shouldn't have had to do that, though

Maybe, and I'm just spitballing here, people who have assaulted 200+ women should already be in jail....

[Brigid]

3. And men wonder why . . .

I have a strict "hands off the merchandise" policy. Creeps like this make women's lives more difficult, and they need to be shamed publicly.

[Logical]

21. What does this mean? Who wonders that? nt

[Brigid]

29. There have been occasions . . .

Where all I have had to do is behave warily around a strange man, or use the glare I inherited from my mother if a strange man is getting a bit too "friendly", shall we say, to have them walk off in a huff. It happens.

[Logical]

31. I doubt many men wonder why women don't want to be felt up. Most know. Maybe just creeps. nt

[Skittles]

83. believe me, there are PLENTY of creeps

[Logical]

85. True, I believe overall men are just not as decent of people as women are. And I am a man. nt

[samsingh]

53. who wonders? Obviously no one - men included - want to be groped

yes, i have been groped as well, by both men and women. I don't like it, but i'm not that affected by it.

[theHandpuppet]

4. And it only took 200+ victims for this guy to land in jail

I'll bet if it wasn't for Marquand's tweet, this creep would still be on the streets assaulting women.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

16. yep. n/t

[ConservativeDemocrat]

42. According to the article, he's back in jail for violating his probation

That kind of puts your assertion in the "100% wrong" category.

[spooky3]

45. The article said jailing occurred AFTER the tweet.

Making YOUR post 100% wrong.

[ConservativeDemocrat]

51. For violating PAROLE. You get PAROLED out of JAIL.

Read it again.

[Spider Jerusalem]

56. Parole is not probation is not bail

the parole violation was the groping (that was exposed on Twitter), which is why he's back in jail.

[mythology]

67. The fact that he's back in jail

is indicative that he had been arrested before. So it didn't take him molesting 200 women before he was arrested once.

Granted the fact that there is such a large number is scary, but he's not been entirely invisible to the criminal justice system.

[fishwax]

66. yeah, he was out on parole apparently assaulting women

and if it wasn't for the tweet, he probably still would be

[Sirveri]

70. And the parole violation was because of this tweet.

Which shouldn't have been needed if the cops decided that they actually felt like busting a guy who was groping random strangers in a busy tourist area...

[Lee-Lee]

5. I'm confused

The cops came and arrested the creep?

From what I see posted here on DU all cops are doing is running around trying to murder minorities and steal from people.

Gotta be a made up story, cops can't do anything good for society and are all just racist, sexist pigs according to many members here.

[Rex]

10. Look what I found, just for you.

[malaise]

55. Hehehehehe

[Quayblue]

62. lol

[ncjustice80]

64. Thats hilarious!

[Iggo]

65. .

[LanternWaste]

11. Because we often only see that which reinforced our validates our own biases about others

From what I see posted here..."

Because we often only see that which reinforced our validates our own biases about others-- whether they be cops or other posters.

So simply open your eyes, observe the all rather than only what you wish to see, and go and be confused no longer.

[arcane1]

15. Hyperbolic much?

[RufusTFirefly]

43. SOP (known offender) n/t

[Logical]

19. And people like you claim cops hardly even cause any issues. I will go with the real answer....

which is cops are out of control and need reigned in.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

23. After she made a big public stink about it.

But you shouldn't actually have to shame police into doing their jobs, ya know?

[Liberal_in_LA]

28. and was brave enough to openly photograph him, he could have gotten violent

[Lee-Lee]

30. Can't respond to a crime that isn't reported

She did, and gathered evidence.

Good job on her part and the officers.

Had she called and said "some creepy guy groped me then he left" there probably would be little the officers could have done but take a report.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

33. From the linked article:

However, officers would not take her images as evidence. But when she uploaded the photos, the response changed the course of the investigation.

Even though she collected that evidence, the police didn't want to bother with it when it was just her that had been groped, evidence or no evidence. It was only after she uploaded the pics online and 200 other women announced that he'd groped them that the police bothered to get off their butts and do something.

[Lee-Lee]

36. In that case time for some disciplinary action

Lazy cops don't help anything.

[ret5hd]

76. Apologists don't help anything either.

[Rex]

79. Imagine that, you didn't even read the article.

[Snotcicles]

48. One mans grope is another mans pat-down. nt

[ZombieHorde]

46. Yes, you are confused.

You don't understand people's concern about institutional racism, etc., so you belittle them.

[awoke_in_2003]

61. Wish I could rec a post. nt

[whereisjustice]

50. ^^^ lol - because cops just don't know how to look after their own best interests ^^^^

[samsingh]

52. really? no idea what your point is.

[mercuryblues]

6. It wasn't

until she posted the pic online that something was done.

Police took a report, but wouldn't take the pic she took of the guy. = no big deal, not investigating

He is a repeat offender of grabbing women and rubbing himself up against them.

Why wasn't her complaint taken seriously? Now over 200 woman have said he did the same to them.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

8. where did you get that from?

[belzabubba333]

13. from the title "man who groped her online"

[Liberal_in_LA]

9. badly worded thread title. sorry

[belzabubba333]

12. i deleted it - it seemed to make light of a sexual assault but that is what the title said

and it stuck me as odd

[Liberal_in_LA]

17. fixed it

[Skittles]

14. WTF

he'd be MINUS A PENIS if he dared try that on me - I am serious, I would go BALLISTIC

[yuiyoshida]

20. IF I were with you...

I would help!!!

[littlemissmartypants]

22. And I love you for that.

Gawd knows what I would do.

[Bette Noir]

68. I know what I'd do, because I've been in that position.

I punched him as hard as I could, and, while he was running away, I yelled, "Somebody call the cops!"

Of course, that was many years ago, when I was young and able-bodied. Now that I'm old and crippled, I'd hit him with my walking stick-- probably put him in the hospital.

[Rex]

27. I totally believe you would kick that guys ass from one curb to the other.

What a sick perv, I hope he rots in prison.

[Skittles]

34. I broke the nose and teeth of a guy who actually tried it

I mean, let me put it into context - I don't even care for being hugged or for someone to put their arm on my shoulder - I kind of freeze - someone just grabbing my ass - well no, HELL FUCKING NO

[Rex]

39. I can kinda understand.

I grimace and bear it, when relatives hug me around the holiday season. I've conditioned myself not to flinch. I don't like being touched.

[Skittles]

41. ah, a fellow feelophobe

[JustAnotherGen]

32. Ditto

Have gone ape shit ballistic before - I can go ape shit ballistic again.

[tblue37]

72. I bet you'd kick his ass! nt

[Le Taz Hot]

18. I had an encounter with a groper at the fair last week.

Some old fart sitting on a bench. I walked by and I felt a definite cop-a-feel on my ass as I walked by. This is highly unusual as, at almost 60, I'm old, fat and did not age well so I'm ugly as sin these days. You just have to go

[littlemissmartypants]

24. Same sh*t different decade. These Asses are everywhere.

Totally disrespected until we Rise.

[ReRe]

59. That is so funny, Le Taz!

[Le Taz Hot]

60. You'd think I'd be safe from all that shit by now

but noooooooo.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

25. Who does he think he is? Schwarzenegger?

[littlemissmartypants]

26. ...

[In_The_Wind]

35. Kudos

[jtuck004]

37. You should stop. There is gonna be a female out there who wishes to stand her ground, and, frankly,

she would have my support. And maybe assistance, though I doubt it would be needed, other than, shall we say, cleanup?

And her weapon of choice ain't gonna be twitter, little man.

[SoapBox]

38. Another all I can do is...

Shake my head, story.

Lock up this sicko or make him live in mittens and cuffs.

[brer cat]

40. I think Julia Marquand is a very brave woman.

She put herself at a big risk to take those pictures. My hat is off to her. It's a shame that it took posting the pix on social media for the cops to arrest the perv, but at least for now he is in custody.

[RufusTFirefly]

44. Yikes! That creep shares my impeccable fashion sense

I definitely don't want to be profiled.
Perhaps it's time for a makeover.

[malaise]

47. He can kiss both his job and wife goodbye

Cell phone cameras are the best thing on cell phones

[awoke_in_2003]

63. Yep, it won't end well...

and that makes me happy. Maybe men who do this shit will start getting a hint.

[JimDandy]

49. Self help that worked! Yay! n/t

[Spirochete]

54. 200 other women?

Egad! How has he not had his ass kicked repeatedly already? Seems like some pissed-off woman would have brained him by now...

[Stargazer09]

77. Sadly

We've learned that nobody takes us seriously when we claim someone groped us. Why risk going to jail for assault? Groping usually leaves no bruises or other physical damage, but a black eye is rather obvious. Who are the cops going to believe?

They don't even believe us when we are violently raped.

[Spirochete]

78. That is mujy sad

I wasn't thinking about the cops being involved, though. Just some outraged woman losing her temper and lighting the guy up, consequences be damned. Dunno if this slug would report it or not, but probably not.

[Skittles]

84. in my mind that would be worth jail time

and I bet he'd think twice before getting his ass kicked again

[blkmusclmachine]

57. ,

[Heather MC]

58. i have seen enough SVU's to beable to diagnosis this freak

He is esculating to rape. Good she caught him, brave woman!

[MADem]

69. Hurrah for Julia!!!!! That's the way to take it to the streets!!!

What a sorry looking shit he is.

[Are_grits_groceries]

71. LEVEL 3!!! Here is the definition for a level 3 ofender:

<snip>
Risk Level 3 offenders pose a potential high risk to the community and are a threat to re-offend if provided the opportunity. Most have prior sex crime convictions as well as other criminal convictions. Their lifestyles and choices place them in this classification.

Some have predatory characteristics and may seek out victims. Generally they have refused or failed to complete approved treatment programs. They usually have one or more victims. They may not know their victim(s).

The crime may show a manifest cruelty to the victim(s) and these offenders usually deny or minimize the crime. These offenders commonly have clear indications of a personality disorder. Approximately 7% of the classified registered sex and kidnapping offenders in Whatcom County are classified as Level 3 offenders.
<snip>
http://www.co.whatcom.wa.us/sheriff/sexoffenders/classifications.jsp

These are people who need to be given long sentences especially when they reoffend and they will commit these crimes again.
These are the worst of the worst and the ones who are beyond scary. They are a clear and present danger.

[SunSeeker]

73. The police didn't want to do anything when it was just her complaining?!

WTF?!

Does every perv get one free grab?!

[noiretextatique]

75. come to oakland, creep

i have several women lined up to kick your ass!

[47of74]

80. Or Iowa.

Heck I'd be waiting in line behind the women.

[egduj]

81. This guy needs to be off the streets, but I hope he gets some kind of help.

It seems there is something inside his head he is unable to control.

[CSStrowbridge]

82. "Cops didn't want the pic"

"Cops didn't want the pic."

Those cops better be fired by the end of the day.
