A mum fears a sex pest who targeted a teenager has struck again.

Sarah-Jane Ranger says a stranger who offered her son a pornographic magazine fits the description of a man who reportedly followed a teenager after asking her for sex.

Sarah-Jane Ranger said her children Charlie and Helen Ranger, aged 12 and 13 respectively, saw the man when they got on a bus at Oasis Academy Isle of Sheppey, Minster Road, Minster, on February 19 and 20.

Mrs Ranger, 32, said: “He was just saying he had a porno magazine and he showed it to my son and he tried to hand it to him.

“Then he said to him, ‘I bet your mum looks nice in a bikini’.

“He was asking them where they lived. He started waving his hand around quite close to my daughter.

“The first time he was just talking. The day after, that’s when he started moving his hand around and asking what they’re called.”

The police came out to take a description from the children on Wednesday, February 25.

Mrs Ranger said: “It’s worrying. They [police] said ‘we’re sorry there’s nothing we can do because he didn’t actually touch anything’. So we have to sit here and wait for some poor child to be touched before they will do anything.”

She spoke out after reading our story from two weeks ago about 17-year-old Mercedes Blackstock who said she was approached by a man in Sheerness High Street on Sunday, February 22.

He asked if she wanted to have sex and then started following her, prompting her to run away up Halfway Road.

Mrs Ranger said the girl’s description of the person – bald, stocky, in his early 40s with a deep, local accent – fit with her children’s recollection.

A police spokesman said: “We were called to a report that children felt concerned by a man on a bus. Officers have carried out inquiries and found that no crime was committed.”
