VANCOUVER, Wash. (KOIN) — A 21-year-old Vancouver man made his first court appearance Monday for allegedly trying to lure a 5-year-old girl away from the front yard of her home — and it’s not the first time he’s been charged with this crime.
Alexander Reitbrock appeared to be holding back tears as he appeared by video for his arraignment. But the mother of the girl said she has no sympathy for him and hopes he won’t be released on bail as he was in March.
Court records show Reitbrock was released from custody after allegedly soliciting underage teens in March. At that time, Reitbrock told deputies he has a “problem” and was previously convicted of sexually extorting minors in 2020 — when he was 16.
Prosecutors requested $75,000 bail in March, but the judge set bail at $40,000 and agreed to the prosecutor’s conditions: “no contact with minor children, no contact with the victims, to stay at least 1,000 feet away from Heritage High School, and not to go to places where minors congregate.”
