A sex offender in California was arrested earlier this month for allegedly sniffing a woman’s buttocks at a store.
Officials verified to KTLA that Burbank police apprehended Calese Crowder, 38, on August 20 due to a “butt sniffing” incident. Records reveal that Crowder is currently on active parole and has faced arrests for similar obscene behavior dating back to 2021.
According to KTTV, after Crowder’s arrest last week, the charges were dismissed due to an insufficient complaint. Nevertheless, records showed that the California Department of Corrections was detaining him without bail because of his active parole status.
Crowder’s arrest comes a month after he was arrested for sniffing women’s bottoms in public — which he has been accused of before.
@michaela.witter The ugly side of doing things solo as a woman even in an open public space. Stalking, harrassment, etc. has happened to me way too many times but this definitely ranks top 3 creepiest moments. Please be safe and attentive to your surroundings unlike myself. Unfortunately, as women we have to have all senses aware even in spaces we wouldnt think necessary #100solodateideas #solodateideas #womenproblems #menarescary ♬ original sound – Michaela 🤍
In late July, surveillance footage at Burbank’s Empire Center allegedly captured Crowder crouching to sniff a shopper’s buttocks. He reportedly departed the location prior to the police’s arrival, but he was eventually caught at a nearby Walmart.
In this incident, Crowder faced charges of loitering with the intent to commit a crime. His bail was set at $100,000. Authorities have not disclosed whether he posted bond or explained his release.
KTTV noted that Crowder was arrested in 2023 for peeping into a family residence in Glendale. Later in the year, a woman shared a TikTok video that seemingly exhibited Crowder crouching behind her at a Barnes and Noble store located in Burbank.
Crowder was sentenced in 2023 to a year in jail for indecent exposure, but sources said he was released early.
