Syrian Refugee Gropes 13 Year-Old At Massachusetts Pool

LowellSun-

A 22-year-old Syrian refugee is behind bars after only two months in the United States after he was accused Thursday night of inappropriately touching a 13-year-old girl at a state-run swimming pool in Lowell.

In Lowell District Court on Friday, Emad Hasso, of Lowell, was ordered held on $25,000 cash bail after pleading not guilty via an interpreter to one count of indecent assault and battery on someone under 16.

Judge Stacy Fortes set the bail over the defense attorney’s objections, because Hasso’s only ties to this country are his family members with whom he lives.

Prosecutor Sam Miller said that around 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, the 13-year-old Lowell girl was at the Raymond Lord Memorial Pool at the North Common Park in Lowell when she said a man approached her, touched her upper thigh and asked her age.

The girl told him she was too young for him and walked away, Miller said.

The man, who was later identified as Hasso, allegedly began to follow the girl around the pool and approached her again when she was swimming, touching her upper thigh and again asking her age.

The girl responded that she was a “little kid, leave me alone,” Miller said.

Other people at the pool, including the lifeguard, saw some of the interaction between Hasso and the alleged victim, and intervened, Miller said.

Defense attorney William Kittredge said Hasso, who speaks little English, receives assistance from the International Institute of New England, a nonprofit group with an office in Lowell that offers information and resources to refugees and immigrants.

Kittredge said Hasso told him that while he was swimming in the pool he may have “accidentally bumped” the girl, but he denies inappropriately touching the teen or speaking to her.

  1. No need to punish him here. Take him back to Syria and turn him over to ISIS. Tell them he was deported because he inappropriately touched a 13-year-old boy.

    Problem solved.

    🙂

  2. Vietviet
    Tell ISIS he molested a boy and ISIS will hold a mass circle jerk due to excitement and then make the perv into some kind of grand wizard. Dont be fooled by how they scapegoat a gay every so often. Thats just some group projection exercise.

  3. @kaminsky: Sad to say, you’re probably right. Maybe we could tell them he was caught naked in the pen where the ISIS commander keeps his virgin goats.

    That might put a twist in their knickers.

    🙂

  4. We need to bring back the Gibbet. Hang him up in the little cage that fits his body. Let him expire of exposure and leave him up there til the immigrant populous gets the idea that this is the kind of thing that happens to you when you grope little girls.

  5. You let pigs into the pool, they might just soil it. But usually a pig has better decorum than this ungrateful Obama ‘refugee’.
