MALE SUSPECT ACCUSED OF INAPPROPRIATE SEXUAL CONVERSATION WITH A 12 YEAR-OLD GIRL JUST SOUTH OF ROBERT FROST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
On Thursday, February 7, 2019, the Mount Prospect Police Department charged Thomas E. Gould, age 28, of 5212 Southwick Drive, Matteson, Illinois, with one count of Disorderly Conduct — a class C misdemeanor. Gould was charged for his involvement in a suspicious incident involving a juvenile, which took place on August 30, 2018 in the block of 1400 South Circle Drive near Robert Frost Elementary School.
Mount Prospect Police Department received a report that a 12-year-old girl was walking her dog in the block of 1400 South Circle Drive on Thursday, August 30, 2018, at approximately 4:00 PM when she observed a male standing at the corner of Circle Drive and Frost Drive. As she passed the male, he engaged her in inappropriate conversation of a sexual nature. The male then entered a black 4-door sedan vehicle and left. Officers searched the area for the male and vehicle, but were unable to locate anyone or any vehicle that matched the description.
On September 10, 2018, Mount Prospect Department alerted the public about the suspicious suspect, providing a photo of the suspect’s vehicle and a police sketch.
In December of 2018, Detectives from the Mount Prospect Police Department became aware of an incident in Palatine after receiving a law enforcement bulletin from the Palatine Police Department.
The case in Palatine involved similar details and offender description as the suspicious incident being investigated by Mount Prospect police investigators that occurred on August 30, 2018 in Mount Prospect. While working together with the Palatine Police Department, police investigators identified Thomas Gould as a suspect in the investigation. On Thursday, February 7, Mount Prospect Detectives interviewed and later charged Thomas Gould with Disorderly Conduct.
Gould was able to post bond and his next court date is March 15, 2019 at 10:30 AM in room 101 of the 3rd District Court of Cook County in Rolling Meadows.
