A group of men tackled and restrained a registered sex offender accused of looking at a teenager inside the women’s restroom at a Cracker Barrel restaurant in South Carolina.
53-year-old Douglas Lane is a registered sex offender, who got his face beat in by a group of fathers after messing with the wrong 15-year-old teenage girl. This peeping dummy got caught when the 15-year-old girl was using the women’s restroom at the Duncan Cracker Barrel, when she saw the man’s head moving around her feet by the bathroom floor as it was coming from the stall next to her.
Upon the girl exiting and telling her father, the parent asked a female employee to get the “peeping tom” out.
According to a witness, this is what happened:
“The guy came running, sprinting out the front door with a very bloody nose.”
Other witnesses also saw the incident. One of them recounted how everyone responded:
“Everyone was yelling, ‘Get him! Get him! Don’t let him get away.”
Then another man, who helped restrain the peeping tom said:
“I’m gonna tell you, if that were my daughter, you wouldn’t walk away.”
Once the girl’s father had identified the man, several other dads came to help him tackle him to the ground. During the scuffle, the man suffered some injuries as the man was restrained outside the restaurant.
In fact, before he made it outside the restaurant, he had already suffered two punches.
Luckily for him, the men wanted him to have more than a few painful blows. They waited until the police came for him.
Other crimes the man was guilty of included peeping, voyeurism, and aggravated voyeurism. He was actually found guilty of these crimes back in 1997.
Therefore, the man has been doing this for quite some time.
Lane was charged with voyeurism, simple possession of marijuana and paraphernalia, Duncan police Chief Carl Long said.
After he was taken to court, he got a $2,000 surety bond as well as enforced GPS monitoring. More court appearances await the man.
Without a doubt, Douglas Lane has not learned his lesson. Despite being caught on multiple occasions sexually assaulting young girls, he shows no signs of changing his behavior.
