Naked pervert attacking female hikers in Colorado woods: cops

A naked sex pest has been stalking trails in the Colorado woods and assaulting women who are hiking alone, cops said.

The unknown creep has pounced on at least seven different victims in attacks that have grown gradually more aggressive since April.

Most of the assaults took place in Flying J Ranch Park in Conifer, a community roughly 30 miles southwest of downtown Denver.

A single attack occurred about 8 miles north of Conifer in Evergreen’s Alderfer Three Sisters Park.

“In each incident, the suspect has run off into the woods, avoiding capture,” the Jeffco Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday.

The “at-large sexual predator” initiated his perverted spree on April 3 when he appeared in the nude and grabbed the bum of a female hiker who had been traveling alone.

He waited until June 13 to strike again, this time approaching his victim while masturbating.

The sicko upped the ante one month later when he attacked three different women in one day, all of whom had been enjoying the trails alone.

He fondled two of the victims, masturbated, and engaged in sexual conversation, police said.

On Tuesday, the naked pig confronted his victim while masturbating and grabbed her before trying to rip off her clothing.

“Each time, the suspect’s behavior has become more aggressive,” the sheriff’s department said.

Police worry the victim toll is much higher than the seven women who reported the deranged behavior.

The so-far-unidentified attacker is described as a white male between the ages of 20 and 30 with an athletic build and dark-colored hair.

Though the man has not worn any clothing for the reported attacks, he was spotted carrying a dark-colored backpack in some cases.

While police hunt down the suspect, officers are urging female hikers not to remark on solo expeditions and to keep an eye out for the naked man.

In May, 29-year-old Lauren Heike was killed by a stranger while she was hiking alone on a popular Arizona trail.

Investigators believe ex-Marine Zion Teasley “randomly attacked” the skin care technician after finding her on the hike and stabbed her 15 times.

Despite escaping from her attacker in a fierce fight for her life, Heike succumbed to her intense injuries.

Police don’t believe Heike knew her alleged murderer.
