Bethlehem Police arrested a man Wednesday after they say he followed two female teenagers in his car and offered them money to allow him to smell their feet.

 

Police say John Robinson, Jr., 32, of Selkirik, trailed the teens in his gold and brown 1989 Chevrolet pick-up truck on Glenmont Road sometime on Wednesday.

 

Robinson approached the teens, according to police, and offered them 20 dollars for the chance to smell their feet in order to satisfy a sexual gratificaation.

 

Robinson was arrested Thursday and charged with harrassment and endangering the welfare of a child.

 

He was arraigned in Bethlehem Town Court and remanded to the Albany County Correctional Facility on $1,000 bail.

 

Bethlehem Police say they believe there may be other victims, and are now working with school officials to alert parents and students.
