NASHVILLE, TN — A sex offender with a history of crimes against children tried to get a five-year-old girl to touch him at a Nashville doctors' office, Metro Police say.
Steven D. Little, 61, was in the waiting room when he began whispering to the little girl, according to an affidavit. The girl's mother, noticing his behavior, moved closer, but Little then turned his chair away. The mother told police she then heard Little whisper "just one time" while pointing to his genitals.
