More victims? Plano police ask for public's help in sexual assault cases

"Robinson is known to frequent pools, department and grocery stores and recreation centers in the Plano area and surrounding cities."

PLANO, Texas — Police in Plano have reached out to the public as they search for more potential victims of a man charged in two sexual assault cases.

In both cases, Treshawn Jahmal Robinson, 23, is accused of grabbing and penetrating women's vaginas, according to affidavits. Authorities said Robinson has also been linked to other disturbing incidents, including taking photos of women without their consent and three other "offensive contact assaults" in which he was issued citations.

"Robinson is known to frequent pools, department and grocery stores and recreation centers in the Plano area and surrounding cities," read a statement from police released Friday.

Robinson was charged with two counts of sexual assault.

In the first case, a woman made a report after she said a man, later identified by Plano police as Robinson, followed her around a Tom Thumb store as she and her mother shopped at night on May 21.

The woman said the man followed them closely for about 15 minutes before he grabbed and squeezed her buttocks. She told police he then grabbed her crotch and penetrated her vagina through her pants "to the point it took her breath away." The victim told police she struck the man, who apologized to her before he left the store as he yelled out denials.

In the second incident, the victim told police she was assaulted by Robinson while at a pool on June 9 at the Somerset at Spring Creek Apartments in Plano.

According to an affidavit, a man, also later identified by police as Robinson, approached the woman and placed his phone between her legs and attempted to film or take a photo of her crotch area. The victim told police Robinson then grabbed and penetrated her vagina as she struggled with him to take his phone away.

Police said a witness at the scene saw Robinson hiding behind bushes before the assault.

Robinson was eventually arrested on June 15 when Plano police were called to the Pebble Creek Apartment complex after he allegedly filmed two teens at a pool as he hid behind bushes.

Plano police have asked potential victims to call the department tip line at 972-941-2148.
