Bronx Man Arrested for Sexual Harassment of Teen Girl in Park

News summary

Police say a man lured a 13-year-old girl walking to school into a secluded, wooded section of Seton Falls Park in Edenwald, the Bronx, just after 8:20–8:30 a.m. Thursday, ordered her to lift her shirt and performed a lewd act before she ran away; the girl was not physically injured and did not report a weapon being used. Officers spent hours canvassing the area, using drones and going door-to-door while standing guard at the park entrance during the initial manhunt. Authorities later arrested 45-year-old O'Neil (Oneil) Kennedy and charged him with endangering the welfare of a child, public lewdness, stalking and harassment; police records indicate prior arrests including forcible touching and assault. Neighbors expressed alarm and said they will be more vigilant about children walking to school as the case moves toward arraignment.
