"Can I hang out with you? The words echo across the Triangle Square parking garage in Costa Mesa, California, directed at a woman in a chic white pantsuit, early forties, cheeks red and makeup a little smudged. The man who said them follows her as she strides away. She tucks her short blond hair behind her ear and casts anxious glances over her shoulder, pivoting left, then right."
"Can I hook up with you? he says. Fuck off, she mutters, picking up her pace. She clocks that he's recording her from his sunglasses, which have a built-in camera. What kind of vagina do you have? he persists. Is it an innie or an outie? Does it have beef curtains? She threatens to call the police, but as he pursues, his taunts grow more obscene."
"My fat-ass cock is ready to get hard for you, Young says to the women, sitting on a bench outside a nightclub that's part of the same mall complex as the garage, awaiting their rideshare pickup. One of the women says the cops are on their way, trying to scare him off. Fuck you, you little bitch, he says. Her friend kicks at him, stands, and tells him repeatedly to back up."
A man repeatedly followed, harassed, and filmed women in the Triangle Square parking garage and outside a nearby nightclub in Costa Mesa, California. He used obscene sexual language and invasive questions while women tried to escape or confront him. At least one woman threatened to call the police; another woman’s friend kicked at him while trying to protect her. The harasser, identified as Johnny Young, recorded encounters with sunglasses that had a built-in camera and had been living out of a van. He pulled a canister of pepper spray and deployed it in a woman’s face as a bystander intervened, leaving some outcomes uncertain.
