Adam Tharp Likes To Expose Himself To Kids In The Children's Section Of The Library

[everjaded]

It's sounding like he may be ramping up, too. He was captured on video skulking around the children's section at two different libraries. And he was turned in by a tipster who said he had similar accusations against him in 2015.

A 22-year-old man is accused of exposing himself to a girl at the Winter Haven Public Library on Wednesday.

Police say Adam Tharp, of Winter Haven, exposed himself to a 7-year-old girl in the children's section of the library. The girl ran away, and police say Tharp left the library shortly after.

Detectives say they received a tip from someone who said they worked with Tharp in 2015. The tipster said Tharp had been accused of similar acts in 2015.

Police say an additional tip came from an employee of the Lakeland Public Library, who said they had video images of someone who matched Tharp's description at the library on Wednesday night. The employee said staff noticed a man, later identified as Tharp, lurking around the children's area and behaving suspiciously.

Staff approached Tharp and asked him to leave, then called police, investigators said. By the time police arrived, though, Tharp had left the library.

Police say they received no report of Tharp exposing himself at the Lakeland Public Library. They say the images show Tharp leaving the Lakeland library wearing the same camouflage shirt as he was seen wearing in the Winter Haven case.

Tharp was taken into custody at his home Thursday night. Police say Tharp told them he was the man seen on surveillance videos at both libraries, and that he liked to go to children's sections and look at children's books because he "identifies with children." []

Police say he denied exposing himself to the girl.

Aaawwww...Just Ralph. He'd make a great poster ad for what to run away from. As fast as you can.
He identifies with children? What fuck does that even mean? His parents must be so proud.

That mugshot. He certainly does look like a lurker.. Creepy, snake in the grass, quietly oozing his bulk around bookshelf corners.

Wow. I've grossed myself out.

What a dirty little perve. Its good he got caught now. If he 'identifies' with kids and is exposing himself to them - then at least he'll be on the radar now in case he decides to escalate his sick behaviour.

He looks exactly like I thought hr would.

I'm upset he chose to do this in such a sacred place. A library of all places.
Not cool at all.

Adam Tharp needs to be held down and stomped in the goodies
.. This is only the beginning of his reign of terror.
Fix it NOW!

Last man we had here who identified with children was "Stephonknee" or some such rubbish, "identifying with being a seven-year-old girl"

After being fired from a job where he allegedly flashed a young girl, Adam Tharp spent his spare time stalking children at libraries in hopes of exposing himself to them.

Tharp, 24, of Winter Haven, pled guilty to lewd or lascivious exhibition Friday. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, followed by 15 years of probation, by Judge Abdoney, who said Tharp’s actions were “alarming.”

Security footage from both libraries caught Tharp stalking little girls. Tharp admitted it was him in the video and told detectives he has a desire to expose himself to young girls.

I hope it was just an oversight of the article.

There's a reason our children's section is open and next to the circulation desk.

Unfortunately we still deal with flashers and masturbators in the adult and teen sections and we also have two persistent pervy phone callers. It's surprisingly common in libraries.
