A man who police say tried to rape a Seattle 16 year old girl while she walked her dog allegedly told police he is “not a fan of consent."
The girl said she had gone for the walk and was on her way home with the dog when she stopped by a gas station.
This is where suspect Joseph Randall Seago, 35, comes in. Police say he was outside the gas station when the victim left, she even acknowledged his existence to police by saying he stared at her for up to ten seconds.
Court records say the girl continued to walk home before soon realizing Seago was right behind her. Before she knew it Seago allegedly grabbed her by the neck and began to touch her inappropriately while not saying anything the whole time.
The girl ended up being able to escape after her dog possibly snapped at Seago’s leg, allowing her to take off and run for help.
A Good Samaritan soon saw the girl and asked if she needed help before calling the police and Seago soon started walking toward them.
Police responded and found Seago easily, who admitted to wanting to have sexual relations with “the child over there,” according to court records.
When officers started to talk to Seago about consent, he allegedly responded “I’m not a fan of consent.”
Seago was arrested and is facing an attempted rape charge. Officials say they soon found out the Queen Anne resident has a history of child sexual assault dating back to a 2012 conviction out of Colorado.
