Investigators said they used the image to canvas the area and identify Israel Pagan, 19, as the suspect.

Israel Pagan faces a charge of attempted sexual battery of a victim 12 years of age or older.
Investigators are currently looking for other potential victims and urge anyone with information on incidents involving Pagan to call Crimeline at 1-800-423-8477.
