Suspect arrested after teen girl reported being followed outside Westmoreland Mall

A Greensburg man was arrested Wednesday after a teen girl reported being followed to her car after work at Westmoreland Mall.

William Lael Gressman, 60, is charged with stalking, indecent exposure, harassment and disorderly conduct.

Troopers said the 16-year-old girl reported Tuesday night that the suspect commented on her body as she walked into work at the Hempfield mall at 2:30 p.m. About four hours later, as she was leaving, the girl said she saw the same man following her, according to court papers.

Surveillance footage showed the suspect following the girl while touching himself. He then walked around the parking garage, eventually getting into his SUV and leaving at 7:30 p.m., police said.

Troopers identified Gressman as the suspect Wednesday and he admitted to the incident during an interview, according to court papers. He was being held in the Westmoreland County Prison on $5,000 bond.

A preliminary hearing is set for Tuesday. Gressman did not have an attorney listed in online court records. He does not have any criminal history in Pennsylvania, according to online court records.
