Lee Arthur Rayford

The U of M's Daily Helmsman published a story today on the arrest. One of the women who was targeted by this pervert had the courage to walk behind his car and get his tag number- that's what led to the arrest. Kudos to the courageous student who got that tag number- our streets are safer because of citizens like her who refuse to be a victim and take decisove actions.
I excerpted a bit of the article below. I chose to edit out some explicit sexual content in case you are enjoying this blog with one of your young ones present and don't want to have to explain that stuff just yet.
Excerpted from the Helmsman: A 39-year-old man has been charged with indecent exposure following at least two incidents on campus. Last Friday at 11:45 p.m., Shelby County Sheriff Deputies arrested Lee Arthur Rayford. The arrest and charges were based on a warrant obtained last week by University Police Services. Rayford met his $100 bail and was released late Monday afternoon.
As the victim sat on the steps of Patterson Hall, Rayford exposed himself (Cliff's note: R-rated material edited). The suspect then drove off, but not before the victim wrote down his license plate number.
She said she was worried when she got up to check his car's license number, but she didn't want anything to happen to another student here on campus.
"It's not an easy thing to get up from your safe area," she said. "I had to get close enough to look at the tag, with all this other stuff in my head, but I didn't know his limits. I didn't know if he would get out of the car. I was just thinking, 'I have to do this.'"
