Santa Cruz Police: Man Took Pics of Nude 7-Year-Old in Shower

Santa Cruz police are searching for a man who allegedly photographed a naked 7-year-old girl in a public shower on July 13.

The girl was rinsing off her body near the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf and Beach Street around 5:15 p.m. when a restaurant worker noticed an older white man, who looked to be in his late sixties, apparently snapping pictures, according to KSBW. The man was described as 5’8”, with white hair, a cowboy hat and a sleeveless T-shirt.

Anyone with information is asked to call Santa Cruz police at 831-420-5820.

Santa Cruz was shaken recently by the death of Maddie Middleton, 8, who was allegedly raped, strangled and murdered by Adrian Gonzalez, 15.
