Naked man in girls' locker room at Shorecrest

From Pat Hegarty, Shorecrest Principal

At approximately 5:35 pm on Monday, October 18, one of our volleyball players went into the girls' team side of the locker room and discovered a man sitting on one of the benches wearing only a pair of socks. She described him as a white male 35-40, approximately 5’ 10” tall, weighing 150-160 lbs, with a red crew cut hair style. The student went immediately back to the gym to alert her coach, but when the coach returned to the scene the man was gone.

We have notified Shoreline police and they have begun their investigation. We are directing custodians to redouble their efforts in making absolutely certain that our locker rooms are locked up at 3:30 pm. In addition, we are instructing coaches to check that all doors remain closed and locked, while also instituting a buddy system when students need to use the locker rooms when coaches are unable to accompany them.

Tomorrow morning we will remind our students of the importance of following safe practices when staying after school here at SC, and also while on the journey to and from school. Student safety is always our first priority.

If you have any information that will help police in their investigation, please call 911 or give us a call at 206-393-4319. We will make sure any information we get is shared with the investigating deputy.
