Probably some deranged Milquetoast just "fucking around". A screwball for sure, but probably some harmless fluke testing boundaries and social dogmatisms.
Why does it take months for the authorities to find this character, long after the situation has become quite irrelevant? What does that say about both the competence and priorities of "the system"? I would hope they crack down on things like gang violence and identity theft a lot quicker than they did this nonsense.
I think it is still important to arrest people who do this type of thing, even if it is several months after the fact. While this could be just a bored suburbanite trying to bring a thrill into his life, it could also be someone with serious sexual deviancy issues trying to see what he can get away with. If it is the later, then his behaviour will almost certainly escalate if he isn't stopped. Charging him serves two purpose. One, it puts him on notice that he can't get away with this type of behaviour. Two it means that he is now in the system so that he can be monitored and hopefully get some kind of treatment for what ever is making him behave this way.
