Asians behaving badly... creepy fake masseuse edition! In Dallas, police at Southern Methodist University arrested a man who posed as a student while roaming through dorm hallways offering female students free massages: Man allegedly posed as SMU student, offered free massages.Ah, the old free massage trick.
The suspect, identified as 24-year-old Eswin Kim (there seems to be some discrepancy in reports over whether his name is Eswin or Edwin), posed as an SMU student in the Morrison-McGinnis residence hall and passed out flyers offering free massages. He was charged with criminal trespass:
Kim, who is not a SMU student or employee, had women’s clothing with him and in his car at the time of the arrest. He was also carrying a flyer offering free massages from SMU’s Dedman Center for Lifetime Sports, where he claimed to work. One student reported that Kim touched her inappropriately during a massage.This dude is not an SMU student or employee, and has nothing to do with the university. I don't know what he was up to, but he was pretty stupid to think he could get away with this shady little ruse. But it's possible that he'd done this before with other students.
Police are investigating if any other students had similar encounters with Kim in Cockrell-McIntosh Hall or McElvaney Hall. Kim had previously been warned to stay away from SMU’s campus.
Anyone who can help with this investigation is asked to contact the SMU Police Department at 214-768-3388. Anonymous tips can be reported through the Silent Witness Program at 214-SMU-2TIP. More here: Police Arrest Man Posing As SMU Student.
