This is the chilling moment a man told a 17-year-old girl she was ‘beautiful’ and tried to lure her back to his farm.
The teen was looking through clothes at a US thrift shop when the stranger approached her, telling her she was “one of the most beautiful girls I’ve ever met”.
She caught his disturbing behaviour on camera after pulling out phone when she noticed him acting suspiciously.
The youngster finally escaped the creep, who continued talking to her even after she told him her age, by pretending to take a phone call.
She then uploaded the scary encounter to TikTok, adding the caption: "I started recording because this guy was being sus. I was just trying to thrift.”
In the footage, the man approaches the teen and says: “Excuse me, my name’s Rory I just think you’re one of the most beautiful girls I’ve ever met.
“Can I buy one of those things for you?”
When the teen responds ‘no it’s okay, I’ll be fine’.
The man then asks if she is engaged and when she replies that she is not he says ‘I’m not either’.
The teen then tells him ‘I’m only 17’, prompting the creep to say ‘okay well that’s a good age to be, I’m not quite that’.
He then asks her to look at his knees to see if she can tell which one was bitten by a tick.
The child then tells him she has no idea and rifles through clothes in front of her, clearly uncomfortable with the situation.

In a brazen attempt to lure her back to his farm, the man then says: “Anyway I live out in the country and I’ve got a bunch of stuff that I’m trying to keep up on for work but it’s kind of falling behind.
“I’m looking for someone to help me. It’s a paying thing, it basically involves getting my stuff out of the garden and processing some things.”
The teen then immediately steps away from the man, telling him she is receiving a phone call and has to leave.
She shared the disturbing video on TikTok late last year and has received a wave of supportive messages from women who have found themselves in similar situations.
One person wrote: “Ugh what a dirty man.
“A few months back I was in the supermarket and there was also a creep who kept telling me I had pretty hair.
“It’s good that you stayed calm and stay kind, because if I was in a situation like that I would panicking so bad.”
“I’ve read so many terrible stories/news articles that started out with a convo just like this one Jesus,” another user wrote.
