The 16-year-old was driving to work two weeks ago when she noticed another driver looking at her. She realized the man, later identified as John Dougherty, was allegedly touching himself inappropriately. The victim said it continued to the next intersection at northwest 150th and May Avenue. 

“When I was arriving at the second light and realized he had been following me and switching lanes and was purposely trying to get right next to me,” said victim. “I was just so shocked. I felt trapped, I felt kind of disgusted to be honest. I felt so stuck in my own car.”  

She turned her phone camera on Dougherty to catch him in the act. In the video it appeared Dougherty was looking straight at her, even grinning. 

“I was like I have to record this because no one is going to believe me,” said victim.  

She showed her parents, who urged her to immediately call the police. 

“She was able to get video of him and his car tag,” said Capt. Valerie Littlejohn, Oklahoma City Police Department. “She called police and reported it. Officers were able to locate the suspect via the car tag and was able to determine his identity.”  

Police learned Dougherty was a registered sex offender. He was convicted in 2013 after exposing himself to a Sonic employee. 

Once again, Dougherty was arrested on one complaint of indecent exposure and public indecency. Police released body camera video of the arrest at Dougherty’s northwest Oklahoma City home. 

Dougherty has since been released from jail and he has not yet been formally charged by the Oklahoma County District Attorney.
