Flashees Foil Philly Flasher.CBS reports: Some high school girls have taken revenge on a suspected serial flasher.
There'd been several reports of a man exposing himself to students from St. Maria Goretti's High School for Girls in Philadelphia. The man would hide behind a van and wait for girls to walk by. Then he'd jump out, expose himself and run away. Police told the Philadelphia Inquirer he was suspected of flashing 13 victims in seven different incidents.
Now anyone who has lived in Philadelphia for a while is familiar with St. Maria Goretti's High School for Girls. Apparently at year's end, they remove their shoes and socks and frolic in the fountain across from the cathedral. There are many men in Philadelphia who live for that day. But their fantasies about catholic school girls probably don't end the way it did for the flasher. You see, the girls decided to fight back:
[A] group of about 20 students from St. Maria Goretti chased the suspected flasher down the street, wrestled him to the ground and held him there until police could take him into custody.
That sick fucker got a cut lip and a lesson he will never forget. Kudos to the girls at St. Maria Goretti.

Chris: They sure do. The article noted how proud the girls' mothers were. I bet the dads were full of pride too. Good for them. GMB

@DCap. Yes. "Catholic girls start much too late, but soon or later it come down to fate," and they caught the creep. Good for them!
