A Joint Base Lewis McChord soldier arrested for stalking young women and teenagers admitted stalking at least 50 victims since January of this year, according to Lakewood police.

The 34-year-old soldier faces three counts of misdemeanor stalking, and police said they expect more victims to come forward.

Police said the soldier followed the victims, including two minors on the way to school, in a red and tan Dodge truck and tried to get them to come talk to him.

“If they ignore him, he keeps them under surveillance, continues to follow them for quite a period of time,” police Lt. Chris Lawler said.

1. This is such a common abuse on our streets.

I used to take the bus and was often harassed. One guy stopped at the bus stop and just kept motioning to the passenger seat like I was just supposed to hop in. Creepy. I never felt safe taking the bus or even walking on the sidewalk. It made me quite angry. It was anything but complimentary. Somehow men had the mentality that they had the right to do that.
