OCTOBER 14--A Wisconsin man has been arrested for exposing children to harmful materials after allegedly driving around and tossing a sex toy in the direction of a series of teenage girls, police report.

Konrad Peters, 28, allegedly placed the adult toy in the path of the girls and then waited in his car to see their reaction, according to an application to search the Milwaukee home Peters shares with his mother.

The raid of Peters’s residence turned up “33 dildos and multiple sex toys,” cops reported in a court filing.

Police in West Allis, a city outside Milwaukee, opened a criminal investigation last month when two 14-year-old girls reported that a male driver left a “giant purple dildo” in their path as they walked home one afternoon from a local park. The man was “just sitting there staring at them from his car with the driver’s side window rolled down,” reported Detective Jessica Wink.

On a second occasion in September, a male driver threw a dildo towards a 15-year-old girl who was walking home from a bus stop. The suspect then waited for the victim’s reaction, noted Wink, who added that the girl copied down part of the man’s license plate number.

Last week, a 13-year-old girl told police that she was walking home from school when “a dildo was dropped out of the driver’s side of a vehicle.” The girl subsequently spotted the car nearby and “she walked past her house, because she was scared and didn’t want him to know where she lived.”

After reviewing home surveillance footage, the teen’s father went out to see if he could locate a vehicle in the neighborhood matching the one captured on video. The man spotted a black Honda that matched the suspect vehicle and copied down its plate number (which he then provided to police).

The plate, Wink reported, came back to a 2011 black Honda Civic owned by Peters. When cops went to Peters’s home, he declined to answer questions after consulting by telephone with his lawyer.

Peters, pictured in the above mug shot, was subsequently taken into custody. The female victims were shown photo arrays, and the 15-year-old “identified Konrad Peters as the male party who she observed tossing the sex toy out of his car.” (6 pages)
