Who is the "man gran"?

the Daiy Record reports there's a man in Folkestone, dressing as an old lady, and attempting to cuddle up to women in the street:

MAN GRAN HUNTED

POLICE are hunting a man who dresses up as a gran and tries to cuddle to women in Folkestone, Kent.

He is also believed to have posed as a journalist to ask women if he can film them.


Sounds like a prank to me, intended for internet video type larks rather than anything more sinister, but who knows... It's not me anyway, I promise.

Here, and they put PERVERT in capitals, just so you know...

A PERVERT is dressing up like movie character Mrs Doubtfire to grope teenage girls.

The cunning predator disguises himself as a granny to strike up conversation with teenagers and young women.

Police warned: "He comes across as harmless and usually says he is cold and asks for a cuddle.

"He then touches them in a sexual way. We believe he may have filmed his victims.

"When he is dressed up he looks just like Mrs Doubtfire and wears a coat or shawl."

His disguise is so convincing police said it was hard to spot he was a man. He has struck most often in Folkestone and Canterbury areas of Kent.

In the 1993 movie, Robin Williams disguises himself as a Scottish nanny to get hired by his ex-wife and be closer to his family.


I'm off to look for you today Doubtfire, so look out!

It's already come to court, granny man is a short balding transvestite from Densole, he refutes claims that he touched any of the young girls he chatted up.

The paper names him too, but I don't feel that's my place... Is it you? Post a picture of yourself in your granny outfit.
