Transit Police report arresting Mark Hurd, 56, of Dorchester on a charge of indecent assault on a minor for an incident around 7 p.m. on Nov. 18 at the Ashmont station on the Red Line.
According to police, the girl, 13, was selling cookies to benefit the Human Society:
The minor victim was properly permitted and had adult supervision. For a brief moment, the adult supervisor, was a short distance away to move a table. At this time a male approached the minor victim and began ask questions relative to the cookies. Shortly thereafter the male indecently assaulted the minor victim.
Hurd was arrested yesterday.
Innocent, etc.

I think you mean the HumanE society?

Why does the police report
Why does the police report note that the girl had a permit to sell cookies? If she didn't have a permit would it have made it legal to assault her?
Seems like that detail helps
Seems like that detail helps with establishing the facts relates to this incident. The permit application corrobates details of this incident.
That's awful!
While I seriously believe the 56-year-old guy that assaulted the young girl who was selling Girl Scout cookies in the MBTA Ashmont subway stop platform is a real sicko and needs to be put behind bars for awhile, I seriously wonder about the idea of letting a young kid sell Girl Scout Cookies in an MBTA stop, since it puts a girl that age in an especially vulnerable position.
It's not the girl's fault that sicko attacked her. I tend to blame the Girl Scout troop leader(s) who let the girl sell the Girl Scout cookies on the Ashmont MBTA subway stop platform in the first place.
And you wonder why?
Parents are worried about sending their kids on the MBTA ? The plaza at Ashmont has become a hangout for sickos.
Gypsy Cab every day
on the north side of the station, near Peabody Square there are usually 3-4 guys standing at the doors chanting, 'cab' gypsy cab' and dangling their keys. If there are any T police near by they are usually in a pack talking or chatting with each other instead of looking around. I've contacted the T police several times but nothing gets done. This station needs better coverage
