‘Crosspointe Creeper’ No Danger, Officer Says

A man rumored to be a child molester who frequently observes other people in the Crosspointe community near Fairfax Station appears to pose no danger to local residents, a Fairfax County police officer said Tuesday.

West Springfield District police Capt. Joe Hill said the “Crosspointe Creeper,” who has driven around the community and watched residents for more than two years, is not breaking any laws and that the case did not warrant hysteria. Allegations of child molestation were unsubstantiated, he said.

“None of that is true,” said Hill, speaking before a South County Federation meeting Tuesday at South County Secondary School in Lorton. “We ran his record. We know who this guy is. We’ve encountered him several times – folks call us, and we go out there and talk to him. He has no criminal record, never been accused of anything, has a government job – for all intents and purposes, a very upstanding citizen. 

“He just has a quirk in that he likes to go into these neighborhoods with large homes, beautifully decorated for the holidays, and he likes to look at these homes.”
