Vienna man charged with sexual battery for Target groping

WASHINGTON — A T-shirt logo and an anonymous tip helped lead police to the man they say groped a girl at a Target store in Merrifield Saturday.

Brendon J. Cordova, 19, of Vienna, turned himself into police Thursday morning, Fairfax County police said. He has been charged with three counts of aggravated sexual battery for touching the buttocks of the 11-year-old girl.

The girl told her dad about the assault after they had returned home from the Mosaic District Target store. Her father called police and security footage confirmed her story, police have said.

Police released images of the man believed to be responsible. And a Fairfax County officer, who was not involved in the case, recognized the logo on the man’s gray shirt as being from a martial arts studio.

Driving any distance to perpetrate a crime does not give a clear advantage with modern surveillance cameras.Why do you think so many criminals are caught in big cities?They think they blend in with the millions of others on the street,but a little ditty called facial recognition get's em most of the time unless they hide under a rock.
