Local news channel WOIO reported that on Sept. 22, a 39-year-old man named Joshua Freyermuth was arrested for trying to lure a child out of his front yard by saying, "I need to talk to you," then attempting to grab the child when he refused.
The boy avoided the kidnapping with the help of the family dog who attacked the aggressor.
"When he grabbed my son's arm, my dog attacked him and then he stumbled back off the stairs," said Zachery Thurmond, the boy's father. "He kicked his heels off, my son said he had white high heels on, and then he took off running down the street."
Freyermuth had been arrested for drug possession on Sept. 20 but was released. In that incident, Freyermuth had been pulled over after police officers received reports of a suspect driving around attempting to speak to children, police stated.
Mug shots from the arrests show Freyermuth wearing two different styles of blonde wigs and makeup.
Freyermuth was arraigned on an attempted kidnapping charge in Alliance Municipal Court on Sept. 23 where he repeatedly denied attempting to kidnap the boy. "I wasn't even there. I didn't try to kidnap anybody," Freyermuth told the judge, while wearing his latest blonde wig.
The suspect is now being detained on a $100,000 bond for felony charges connected to attempted kidnapping and he has been ordered to have no contact with the boy. Freyermuth continues to claim innocence, suggesting that he was not even at the scene of the crime when the incident happened and was instead at a friend's house. His alibi has not been confirmed, and police are still investigating the matter.
Cross-dressing suspect has caught public attention
The incident has gathered significant public attention because of the suspect's status as a cross-dresser.
Staying out of his car as reported by police, the man who is also known by the name "Vicky" can be seen wearing a blonde wig, lipstick, dress and pearl necklace in his mugshot.
Neither police nor reporters have been able to determine if Freyermuth identifies as transgender or is just a cross-dresser who partakes in drag for other reasons.
This is not the first case showing connections between cross-dressers and child predators. Drag Queen Story Hour, for example, has come under fire for having convicted pedophiles among its members. (Related: US Air Force base cancels Drag Queen Story Time after public outrage.)
In January, the former executive director of a California LGBT organization was arrested in a sting operation for attempting to solicit sex with children. Interestingly, left-wing activists have been known to oppose the crack down on such crimes.
