A man nicknamed the "Swiss Cheese Pervert" was rearrested by police over the weekend after another woman accused the man of asking her to sexually gratify him using Swiss cheese, the New York Daily News reported.
The "pervert," identified as 42-year-old Christopher Pagano, was previously arrested in Norristown, Pennsylvania in January after harassing women in the Mayfair area of Philadelphia. Several women accused Pagano of approaching them, sometimes in his car, with a piece of Swiss cheese in his hand. Pagano would then ask if they would rub the cheese on his private parts.
Police charged Pagano with three counts each of stalking, open lewdness, indecent exposure and harassment, the Daily News reported. Pagano was released on bond.
The incident with the most recent woman to come forward, the fourth alleged victim, occurred in January. Police did not release many details about the incident, only that the "harassment included using processed cheese when he approached the victims," according to the Philadelphia Daily News.
Pagano's cheese-loving antics date all the way back to 2009, when he was charged with criminal solicitation and disorderly conduct after asking a woman to rub cheese on him, according to PhillyMag. Pagano approached a woman, identified as Ms. Doe, from behind while she was walking home.
"The male removed a large block of cheese from his pocket and told [Ms. Doe] that he would pay her $20 to rub the Swiss cheese on his penis," according to a Norristown Police Department affidavit obtained by PhillyMag. The solicitation charge was dismissed. Pagano pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.
Pagano gave himself up to the police when the fourth woman came forward. Police charged Pagano with another round of stalking and indecent exposure charges, totaling 20 counts. He is currently out on $90,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on April 1, the Philadelphia Daily News reported.
