A man is wanted for a series of sexual assaults in the Perimeter area over the last 8 months, the Dunwoody Police Department announced on Tuesday.
Darin Pyatt, 20, is wanted by Dunwoody Police Department for four separate sexual assaults between June 2023 and Leap Year Day.
In three of the incidents, the man groped the women while they were walking and one was assaulted while she was sitting down, according to Dunwoody Police Sgt. Michael Cheek.
"Two of them, he’s actually followed them, committed the offense and then left," said Sgt. Cheek, adding there was not much interaction.
The victims range in age from their mid-20s to early 30s and one in their early 50s.
"They actually were in public places. Two of them have occurred at Perimeter Mall, one in the parking deck behind the mall, and another one has occurred at the Target that’s across the way from the mall," Sgt. Cheek said, adding that it is pretty brazen and bold of him.
Sgt. Cheek said they were able to identify him through a separate incident in another jurisdiction.
Pyatt is described as having mid-length dreads with both sides of his head saved. He stands 5-feet-11-inches tall, weighs about 215 pounds, with brown eyes.
