A Germantown man has been charged with assault for allegedly smelling a 10-year-old child’s bare feet at a Dave & Buster’s, Montgomery County Police said on Thursday.

Detectives suspect there may be additional victims.

The incident occurred about 10 p.m. on Sept. 24 in the arcade area of a Dave and Buster’s in the 8600 block of Colesville Road in downtown Silver Spring.

That’s where Christopher Michael Simpson, 30, allegedly took off the 10-year-old’s shoes and socks and sniffed the child’s feet before leaving, police said.
