After a chase and a search, Felton was arrested. It turns out he is on parole for sodomizing another child.

If this guy was a predator on parole for sodomizing a child I'm wondering if he had GPS or a condition of parole prohibiting him from going to parks. With GPS the 'hot spots' can be programed in with alerts to the parole officer when he went near them. In his case I suppose if he molested the other kids previously they would have known about his crimes earlier and maybe the last one would not have happened. Just a thought.

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.

<blockquote> An off-duty officer saved a 13-year old-girl in Queens from the clutches of a man police call a sexual predator</blockquote>
Interesting choice of words. Felton is not a registered sexual predator and has been to prison once. For robbery.
<blockquote>The suspect, Timothy Felton, 31, who police said has a history of pedophilia</blockquote>
Typically the only way the police would 'know' a person has a history of pedophilia is if the person has a criminal record involving crimes against children. Felton seems to be lacking that minor detail.
<blockquote>In the wake of the incident, during a canvass of the park, police encountered two boys, age 11 and 13, who told police that Felton had sodomized them the day before in a park bathroom, a law enforcement source said.</blockquote>
Really? Why didn't they tell somebody? Or maybe, like Kentucky and Texas 6 year-olds are prone to do, they sodomized each other? I know everybody will slam me for saying that. But I'm not one of those sheep who automatically believes every claim of sexual abuse that comes along.
<blockquote>"He saved that girl's life,"</blockquote>
Did he now? How do you figure? If the allegations of the two boys are true, why are they still alive? What, pedophiles don't kill boys? Only girls get killed?

A great story of an attentive LEO who definitely prevented a victimization, and my hat is off to him. Officer DeVicarro is a 'good cop'.
The rest of the story is people talking to hear themselves, and a media trying to sell papers.
