FORT COLLINS, Colo. (CBS4) - Fort Collins Police arrested a 61-year-old man accused of harassing teenage girls in the area. The first report came from the Poudre River Whitewater Park in May. Victims told police the man, identified as Douglas MacTaggart, made sexually-explicit statements, tried to get them to smoke marijuana and also tried to show them explicit material.

The victims say he left, but they called police.

Days later, officers responded to a report of a man following a teenager and making sexually-explicit comments. It happened the next day, involving the same victim, at a different location, police say.
