A "dangerous" pervert squirted a syringe of his bodily fluid on 19 separate women and children after following them in the street. Paul Sild, 34, targeted "young-looking females" and two teenagers, as well as a woman pushing a pram when he squirted the liquid down the back of their clothes, on paths and streets around Hartlepool. The victims reported a wet feeling on the back of their leggings or coats.
One initially thought it was bird's droppings or that Sild had thrown ice- cream at her. They all reported feeling alarmed at how close Sild was to them and how they hadn't heard him walking up behind them. The victims contacted police, often after changing out of their clothes and realising that the liquid was his bodily fluid.
Many of the victims were left scared to go out on their own. They all described being followed by the same man to the police - saying he had long brown hair which was tied back. On Friday, Paul Cleasby, prosecuting, said that the police began patrolling the streets where the victims had been walking when they were startled by Sild coming up behind them.
Sild was spotted and arrested on suspicion of sexual assault. He had two syringes and a medicine bottle with him and he told the police, "the bottle's full of Calpol, eggs, yoghurt and milk. It's for a practical joke to squirt on people. Sild had hollowed out a book to hold his mobile phone so he could record his sexual assaults.
Sick video recordings found on the phone showed that he had squirted 11 more women, on top of the eight women who had contacted the police. CCTV captured him waiting in his car, until a women he wanted to target walked past, before he began following them. Some of the sexual assaults that Sild filmed were in a car park and some of the victims have never been identified.
