NORTH NAPLES, Fla. - A Collier County man is arrested after a little girl accuses him of molesting in her inside a popular department store.
Authorities say 39-year-old John Dragovich is molested a girl under 12-years-old while she was in the toy section at Super Target. Her mother was one aisle over.
According to the Collier Sheriff's, the little girl told them, Dragovich put his hand under her dress and touched her inappropriately.
The girl immediately told her mother what happened and they called the Sheriff's Office.
Dragovich matched the description of the suspect the girl gave deputies, including a facial composite.
Store surveillance video shows Dragovich was inside the store, including in the toy section, around the time the girl reported she was molested.
Dragovich was arrested at his home Tuesday afternoon.
Deputies say he is already a registered sex offender in Collier County.

Not even in one's wildest dreams would castration cure a molester. Sounds like some would prefer that a certain element of criminals be banned from the human race. Too funny. Reading posts on this website and others from citizens never fails in brightening my day. There is now, nor ever was, nor will there ever be, the "perfect" world.

That go to show the system is very leanant to bad people, and to show that parents need to stay with their children at all times some bring them to department store as if it would be a playground and resting ground for the parents we need to stay on top of things as parents, don't let your kids out of sight cause someone else is keep their eyes open for parents like you.........That let their kids wonder off like a bait in the sea(big world you know) But I hope he gets time for what he has done!

lets start making criminals actually carry out sentences and stop letting them out on probation and parole. TOO many people get just a slap on the wrist, which makes them think they can continue to get away without having to face consequences.

This sicko served almost 30 years in prison for raping a 3 year old! No way can anyone in their own right mind NOT expect him to do this again. According to the internet he was only out for 4 months!! No possible way this is his first and or last victim. This monster is a briken disgusting individual!! lock him up!! castrate him!!! Keep him away from other kids! Its onl a matter of time before he rapes again! I feel for the parents of the little girl in Target!

That's one of the reason that you have to keep a good eye on our children's at public places.Really can't trust anyone if you think about it.That man is sick to think about children in that kind of way.They will always be sick in the head and they are in the community.

Does this prove molesters shop in stores for kids! Lets ban sex offenders from stores. My proposal to law enforcement (which I have drafted) would be to register every one living in the US. Sex offenders are already prohibted from churches, boat docks, parks, malls, buses, some cities, etc.

That is why I do not take my eyes off of my 3 girls at all in the store. They are not allowed to leave my sight, not for 1 second. He is a sick, nasty man. I agree with Liz

I agree with Liz.... Well maybe we try neutering them first then do it Liz's way. Its unfortunate this happened but I'm glad Target had the video needed to identify this guy and get him off the streets!

He is a registered SEX offender, so why was he not under supervision, why was he allowed out on his own, why was he allowed where children are and it comes back to WHY WAS HE NOT SUPERVISED. I suppose the system will say he is not a threat to anyone, keep taking the pills CYANIDE.

You CANNOT fix the minds of these very sick people. Either keep him in jail(at tax payers expense) or go ahead and kill him. Nobody in their right mind would think of a child in that way. YOU CAN'T FIX THEM!!!!!
