Manhunt for Suspected Stalker Victor Ferman in League City Following Threats to Teen

Authorities in League City have launched a manhunt for Victor Ferman, 20, on allegations of stalking and sending death threats to a young girl and her family, as reported by ABC13. Ferman, considered "armed and dangerous," is accused of escalating threatening behavior towards a 15-year-old girl. The Pearland Police Department is urging the public to be on the lookout for Ferman and to report any sightings immediately, further details provided by FOX26 Houston confirm his last seen attire of gray sweatpants, a black t-shirt, and a black hat.

The troubled encounter began when the girl connected with Ferman on Snapchat, apparently through a friend suggestion. League City police officer Jose Ortega told ABC13, "It started off, I believe, as a friendship, and they would message back and forth". The situation rapidly deteriorated, Ferman demanded sex, and upon rejection began issuing threats of rape and violence towards her and her family, he even broke the girl's bedroom window to intimidate her, all while utilizing social media to track her down and harass her.

The case took a sinister turn when the teenager disclosed the volume of Ferman's persistent and increasingly hostile advances, revealing that Ferman not only made threats but also sent a photo of himself with a handgun – reinforcing the nature of the danger he poses. Authorities also suspect that Ferman, who is currently homeless but has connections across Pearland, Houston, and League City, may have targeted other victims, prompting them to share his photo with the public, as elaborated by ABC13.

League City police have been unable to locate Ferman despite efforts, including reaching out to his family who have not provided assistance in finding him. The police have issued a warrant for his arrest, stemming from his juvenile record, though previously he faced no charges as grave as the current ones. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Detective Bell at the League City Police Department but is cautioned against approaching him, due to the potential threat he poses, information on what to do reiterated by both ABC13 and FOX26 Houston.
