"I touch little girls"
sounds like some street justice, although there is nothing in his history to suggest he did this sort of thing

An 80-year-old man was found dead in a New York City apartment building with the words “I touch little girls” scrawled across his body, police and a neighbour said on Tuesday.
The body of Robert Raynor was found just after 9.30am on Monday inside the first-floor hallway of 256 Corson Avenue in the Staten Island neighbourhood of Tompkinsville, according to police.
Mr Raynor’s upstairs neighbour told the New York Post that he was jolted awake in the wee hours of Monday by a ruckus in the building.
“It was so loud, I could hear it over the air conditioner,” Isaac Williams, 40, said.
“I said, ‘What the hell are they doing down there?’ It was loud banging, like ‘boom, boom, boom.’ Like people were wrestling or someone was throwing somebody around.”
Mr Williams eventually dozed off despite the noise – but when he went downstairs in the morning, he spotted his neighbour’s lifeless body splayed out in the building’s hallway.
“The next morning I was coming down to get some cigarettes, and I just happened to look back in the hallway and I saw him laying there,” he said. “My first instinct was he was drunk and he’d just fallen – even though I’d never seen him drunk.
“But then I just looked. I didn’t get too close and I was looking at his stomach and chest to see if they were moving.”
Mr Raynor was wearing nothing but pants, which were down well below his waist, while his arms were above his head, as though he’d been dragged, Mr Williams said.
Williams characterised the octogenarian as frail, and said he had never had reason to suspect him of inappropriate behaviour.
“The man hardly ever came outside,” Mr Williams said. “He could barely walk. He could barely lift his arms up. When he’d go to the store to buy beer, he had to put a backpack on for two little cans because he couldn’t carry them. That’s how pitiful his state was. The man looked like he was 110.”
