A Massachusetts man, reportedly known for his mime costume, faces criminal harassment charges after allegedly terrorizing female employees at a state park for months. Prosecutors detailed disturbing encounters where Hernan Villagran Lux, 29, is accused of repeatedly approaching, staring unnervingly at, and refusing to leave the vicinity of three DCR employees, leading to over 50 incidents that left the women afraid to work. The alleged harassment escalated to extreme behavior, including prosecutors claiming Lux stripped to his underwear, covered himself in cooking oil, and exercised near their staff area, and even complimented one employee while refusing to leave as she and her colleagues abandoned their posts due to feeling unsafe. Social media has seen a surge of warnings from locals in several communities recognizing Lux’s distinctive appearance and reporting similar unsettling encounters, including being approached or followed on a nearby rail trail. Lux was arrested on Sunday night after multiple allegations, and during his court hearing on Monday, he reportedly collapsed as the charges were read, prompting a judge to order a mental health evaluation at Bridgewater State Hospital.
