Police said the suspect initially approached the teenager and his friends at the concession stand, engaged them in small talk, and later followed them into the theater.
When the victim got up and went to the restroom, the suspect followed him in before he “sexually groped” the teen, officials said.
However, the suspect allegedly left the cinema after the teen ran from the restroom and returned to his friends.
A picture released by the police department shows the suspect wearing what appears to be black pants and a pink shirt with “Just Do It” written across the front. He also had a goatee and braided hair, authorities said.
