The FBI said Wednesday it is looking for a man wanted for alleged “illicit sexual contact with minor” during the Wreath Laying Ceremony on Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery.
The unidentified man is accused of making sexual contact with a minor on Monday around 11 a.m. while the female victim was in the crowd watching the ceremony, the FBI said in a news release.
The man “repeatedly inappropriately touched the minor victim, whom he did not know,” and is described as Hispanic male, approximately 5’5″ to 5’7″ tall, according to the FBI.
He is believed to be between 50 and 60 years old with “short, spikey, grey and black hair,” the agency said.
