A professional clown in California has been arrested for kidnapping and raping a 12-year-old girl in 2002. All while wearing his clown makeup and mask. According to the Daily News:

The 41-year-old Anaheim resident allegedly grabbed the girl at a fast-food stand just before midnight in January 2002. He then drove to a nearby school parking lot and raped her in his van.

The horror continued as Jimenez then took her to a motel and molested her again before girl managed to escape.

And this was all conducted in a clown outfit. Which is terrifying in and of itself, but doubly so because the girl couldn't identify her rapist. All the police had to go on was "clown." They finally found him because police matched his DNA from an unrelated crime to evidence from this one. Shudder, shudder, shudder.

That girl will be haunted for the rest of her life. That's the scariest possible thing to happen to a preteen girl.
