Students across the Carolinas are being warned about a serial foot-grabber (yes, you read that right) targeting the toes of female students on several college campuses in the area.

Christopher Jermaine Deas was arrested the evening of Sept. 1, after he was accused of reaching under a table and grabbing the foot of a student while she was studying at a library on the campus of Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
According to a Sept. 2 post on the university’s Facebook page, Deas, who is not affiliated with the school in any way, was taken to the Forsyth County Detention Center.
And while this disturbing incident was bad enough, we were surprised to learn that this isn’t Deas’ first offense. In fact, as Greensboro, N.C.’s WFMY News 2 reports, his creepy crimes date back over 20 years and include assaults on college students on at least six different campuses across North and South Carolina, including a charge of disorderly conduct on educational property and trespassing at Guilford Technical Community College in 2002 as well as several incidents of assault at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and the University of North Carolina-Greensboro.
In 2016, he was arrested at the University of South Carolina for allegedly rubbing and pinching a woman’s toes while she was studying at the campus library. According to WFMY, Deas has plead guilty to almost every charge thrown his way in these cases.
Deas, who was given a $1,500 secured bond after the latest infraction, was charged with a misdemeanor and banned from Wake Forest University’s campus. School officials at all of the campuses that have been impacted are encouraging their students to report any suspicious sightings of Deas to the police.
