<\/p>\nA man has been arrested in connection to a string of groping attacks \u2013 including one 11-year-old victim.<\/p>\n
New York City police confirmed the suspect as 37-year-old James White, and believe he was related to six out of nine attacks in the borough of Manhattan.<\/p>\n
In the footage shared by the police department, White is seen riding a red and black Fly-3 moped before speeding down the road.<\/p>\n
Investigators confirmed the moped was identical to the one used by the suspect. <\/p>\n
Detectives from the Manhattan Special Victims Squad caught White on Friday, September 10, around 5pm near Grand and Forsyth streets in the Lower East Side, the Daily Mail reports. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The attacks took place between August 2 and September 6.<\/p>\n
He drove up to the victims and allegedly grabbed their breasts before speeding off.<\/p>\n
He allegedly targeted an 11-year-old girl walking down the road in one incident. <\/p>\n
On August 26, a 15-year-old girl was attacked in the area of Hester and Eldridge Streets at 4.20pm. <\/p>\n
Just five minutes later, the suspect allegedly molested a 20-year-old woman in the area of 315 Grand Ave.<\/p>\n

"He was wearing a mask and hoodie and was looking for women who were around," Manhattan Special Victims Division Sgt. Ivan Rodriguez told the New York Post.<\/p>\n
"It\u2019s good to have him arrested, especially now that the school is opening and there are more and more young women in the area.<\/p>\n
"These are serious crimes, sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl is a felony.<\/p>\n
"Women should be able to walk the streets of New York without fear of being sexually assaulted."<\/p>\n
White was charged with first-degree sexual abuse, endangering the welfare of a minor and six counts of forcible touching, according to court records.<\/p>\n
He is due to appear in the New York Criminal Court.<\/p>\n
