Alleged Barnes & Noble 'sniffer' Calese Crowder was arrested for second time in less than a week after failing to register as a sex offender, Glendale police say.
Peeping and prowling suspect Calese Crowder, 36, already had a lengthy rap sheet, jail records show, when Barnes & Noble shopper Michaela Witter had this encounter with him caught on video.
Calese Crowder, a serial sex predator from Glendale, California, was arrested just a day after getting out of jail on a peeping and prowling charge. The latest arrest alleges that he failed to register as a sex offender despite a long history of lewd crimes. Crowder was also accused of peeping into a Glendale home with children on Aug. 6. A Barnes & Noble shopper posted her encounter with him to TikTok on Aug. 8. He was arrested on Friday and walked free on Tuesday despite pleading no contest to the peeping charges.
"Is this real?" she said."I think he maybe spent three days in jail… They can't do anything until he's done something really bad to someone, and I'm honestly scared that that person is gonna be me." She reported him to the front desk and shared the video online, where millions of people saw it, some of whom said they recognized him., posted a video in which she turned around and confronted a man she found crouched behind her at the Burbank Barnes & Noble that she said she recorded in March."No, my bad," he replied, down on one knee and flipping through a book in the same winded voice.
