OREGON CITY, Ore. (AP) - Clackamas County authorities arrested a 46-year-old man accused of fondling the legs and feet of female shoe shoppers.

Detective Jim Strovink says Steven George Bronson was captured Wednesday after an alert woman spotted him in Happy Valley. Surveillance video of a suspect had been broadcast on television.

Strovink says the incidents occurred during the past three weeks in Clackamas County and in Medford.

The man would concoct a reason for women to try on shoes. He would then assist them before rubbing their feet and legs.

Bronson has been charged with sex abuse and lodged at the county jail.
