Groping At Straws

Is it really that easy to get tagged not only as a serial groper but a dapper one at that on such flimsy evidence? In Bloomberg and Kelly’s New York, yes:

His nightmare started on April 12, when two detectives showed up at his Park Slope apartment asking him questions about groping attacks on women in fancy Manhattan neighborhoods.

Someone who knew [the suspect] called the NYPD’s anonymous Crimestoppers tip line and told them that a surveillance video image of the attacker looked like him.

Of course shitty police work can be fixed but first impressions are forever. This guy seems remarkably cheerful for someone who was accused of being this close to being a rapist.
