No news of this Perp so far,publicly at least.
I hope that does not mean he has invoked the "Thighing" defence at the local Mosque and has been dealt a get out of jail card by the local Muslim "Holy Man" If he is indeed a man of "Middle Eastern or Mediterranean appearance"as per the eye witness descriptions.
Young girls indecently assaulted in a Sydney park toilet

TWO girls aged two and six have been indecently assaulted by a man in a toilet in a western Sydney park, police say.
A major police search is under way for a man who approached the girls while they sat on a bench at Campbell Hill Reserve Pioneer Reserve on Campbell Hill Road in Guildford at 12.30pm.
The man, described as being of Middle Eastern or Mediterranean appearance, approximately 165cm tall and with a chubby build, coaxed the girls into a toilet block and sexually assaulted them.
Rosehill police, the dog squad and a police helicopter are searching the park and the surrounding area.
The girls, believed to be sisters, have been treated by paramedics and taken to hospital.
Police have sealed off the entrance to the park and forensic officers have been examining the women's toilet block just 10 metres from the road and right next to the reserve's entrance.
A large group of shocked residents have gathered outside the popular park with a shaded playground and several covered eating areas.
Maysa said she knew the Lebanese-Australian family the girls were from.
"It's shocking, I'm speechless I dont know what to say. It's disgusting, there's no words to describe how I feel, especially how the family feels," she said.
"I was here last weekend it's a lovely area, we have never had any dramas here, it's a family area. You need to park at the end of the street Sundays it's so popular. This is the first time this has happened in the area."
The mother said she could only empathise with the girls' family.
"I have a girl who is very young and I just can't imagine this happening to her. I just say to the family 'God be with you'," Maysa said.
"They must be devastated. You don't know what to say it's shocking, disgusting, he should be burnt, dead, no little kid, no family deserves this."
Massive hunt for Sydney sex fiend who assaulted little sisters

The family of the girls, aged two and six, have been playing down the attack among the close-knit Lebanese-Australian community to protect the girls' "honour" and to not bring "shame" upon them. WTF?
But Child Abuse Squad head Peter Yeomans said one of their lines of inquiry was that the man was a convicted sex offender.
Campbell Hill Pioneer Reserve, where the family, including parents, grandparents and cousins, was having a picnic on Thursday, remained shut yesterday with the toilet block locked as forensic officers searched the area.
As detectives with Strike Force Sandyman went through hours of CCTV footage from local businesses and homes and interviewed witnesses, they were also following up with a woman who said she saw a suspicious man leave the same toilet block last October.
One of the girls' aunts said it had torn the family apart.
"They are beautiful, happy, bubbly little girls, never whingeing, always smiling," she said.
"I couldn't imagine what their parents are going through.
"When I heard about it, the hair stood up on the back of my neck. I was horrified."
A cousin said the attack was a sensitive issue for the Lebanese-Australian community.
"We've got a big family here. (It's) definitely terrible. Arabs in general are very protective of our kids, especially our girls," he said.
The girls, who had walked off together to use the toilets just 100m away from their family at 1.30pm, were yesterday receiving counselling at The Children's Hospital Westmead.
"The little six-year-old is still very upset by what has occurred," Supt Yeomans said.
He said they were followed into the toilet block by the man, who then sexually assaulted the older girl and indecently assaulted the younger girl.
The girls have told detectives they were in the toilet for "a considerable amount of time".
"But, bear in mind, children's conception of time is quite different to that of an adult's," Supt Yeomans said, adding that the girls' parents, who also have a son, didn't deserve any blame.
"They're very good parents. It's the middle of the day, it's school holiday time, there are plenty of people around," he said.
"It's a harrowing experience for the family. They are very deeply stressed by what has occurred to them and to their children."
Police have described the man as having black hair, an average to thin build and wearing a black jacket with a white stripe down the side, and blue shorts.
