[UNLOCKED] FIRED KAMIAK COACH APPROACHED LOCAL GIRL, 16, IN LAKE STEVENS HAGGEN SUNDAY
Lake teenager followed by man she believes to be Julian Willis, the former Kamiak HS coach currently under investigation for felony sex crimes...J425 confirms Willis now living in Lake Stevens..
This story is now unlocked to all thanks to J425 paid subscribers.
LAKE STEVENS - “I used to be a father,” the man said to the girl in the line next to him, revealing either a difficulty with verb tenses or a fracturing grip on reality.
In truth, the man had two children. And it was Father’s Day.
But his children weren’t with him. Neither was his wife.
The man was alone at the Lake Stevens Haggen, hitting on someone’s 16-year-old-daughter.
He followed her all over the store, manufacturing a series of increasingly awkward run-ins, punctuated by comments on the girl’s physical appearance (“beautiful”) and his relationship status (available).
The girl knew what this man was – she’d read about it, she’d seen the TikToks.
She watched him climb into the car with a Kamiak sticker on the back and she fought the urge to scream.

Alert Teen Provides Notice - Now Lake Parents Must Rapidly Accept Reality
Thanks to the bravery and consciousness of surroundings exhibited by the girl we’re able to provide you with a heads up: a man under investigation for multiple felony sex crimes against a minor is present in Lake Stevens and confident enough to zero in on a 16-year-old girl in a very public setting, despite the fact that he was recently fired (and faces decades in prison) for having sex with a 16-year-old Kamiak girl.
We spoke directly to the reporting teenager Sunday evening. J425 isn’t going to name the girl but we’ve verified her identity and multiple aspects of her report. Further, both Lake Stevens Police and Mukilteo PD are aware of the incident.
What follows is J425’s restatement of what the teenager told us.
The girl was shopping Sunday (Father’s Day morning) in order to get a card and some breakfast supplies for her dad.
A receipt she provided J425 shows that she checked out around 10 am. The incident began when the girl was bumped by another shopper.
She looked up and said she immediately recognized the distinctive face and appearance of Julian Willis – a 34-year-old man with the build and definition of an NFL running back.
Before she could fully process the situation, the man both apologized for the contact and commented on the underage girl’s physical appearance: “I’m sorry beautiful,” she remembers him saying.
The teenager, who has read the J425 reporting on the alleged sexual predator Willis, said she experienced a jolt of fear and adrenaline with the unexpected run-in with the man. She sought space, backing away from the contact and quickly going about her business. However, the conversation wasn’t over – at least according to the man who’d started it.
The girl was approached two more times while shopping – with her new unwanted admirer matching the girl’s route through the length of the store in order to – in the girl’s opinion – manufacture additional points of contact.
In one instance, he lamely commented on the layout of the store to the girl, as if it was these damn confusing Haggen store layouts that inevitably led to the repeated run-ins.
“I used to be a father,” he told her apres pos of nothing, before continuing with the irrelevant-unless-you’re-a-predator-trying-to-rizz-a-16-year-old girl declaration that he was recently divorced.
The next time she says he pulled up next to her at the donut reach-in, asking her what she was shopping for. She fired off a monosyllable response and headed for the self-checkout.
As she rang up a Father’s Day greeting card, she noticed the man had sidled up next to her once again, choosing the self-checkout bay next to hers. He peered into her items no doubt looking for a hook to attach the necessary declaration of his status. Lamely, he remarked on her Father’s Day card.
“I used to be a father,” he told her apres pos of nothing, before continuing with the irrelevant-unless-you’re-a-predator-trying-to-rizz-a-16-year-old girl declaration that he was recently divorced.
She remembers him seeming proud of his single status while commenting on his ex-wife in a manner that directed all relevant blame in her direction.
Shaking with adrenaline, the girl pulled out her cell phone and bravely attempted to get a video of the she believed to be Julian Willis. However he glanced her way as the phone tracked up and she quickly ceased the attempt. She sent J425 the clip. The man is visible in part, and the clip lines up with her receipt to provide an exact time and location stamp for the incident.
The girl grabbed her purchases and headed for the parking lot. But her new admirer wasn’t quite done socializing.
As she pulled out of the parking lot, heading to the dollar store across 91st Avenue, she noticed the man getting into a compact import with a Kamiak sticker on the rear. She’d see the same car again moments later as the man pulled in next to her. She’d crossed the busy arterial and entered a completely different commercial plaza, and here he was again.
Almost as if he was following her.
Striking up conversation again, the man indicated he was going to the vape store. He offered to buy the girl something from the vape store but she declined, went into the dollar store and quickly ducked out, got in her car and made her departure.
The two officers who arrived to take the report were typical Lake Stevens cops: that is to say prompt, professional, smart, and focused on the shit that matters.
Out of Town Predator Shows Up In Lake Stevens - What Now?
After processing the incident during the day and discussing the matter with her mother, J425 was contacted and made aware of the incident. J425 spoke to both the girl and her mother, urging them to go to the police. For a 16-year-old girl, – or really any female – attaching one’s name to a police report naming a 225-pound man whom is currently under investigation for felony sex crimes is not the most appealing activity.
Last night, J425 went to Haggen and met with a shift manager, briefing the man on the story, showing a picture of Willis and asking if we could review the surveillance footage.
The effort was a no-go: apparently Haggen’s video feed is impossible to access unless you are a zen audio/video master sent specifically from the big leagues. The shift manager gamely stated he’d leave a note. And imagine that note if you’re the Haggen opening shift manager: “Receipts are up 5% year-over-year, the AM till and the bank drop are ready for you. Oh yeah, some dude was trying to see if a guy accused of having sex with minors was hitting on teenagers inside the store today.”
After review of the teenager’s account, J425 worked to confirm additional aspects of the incident. We found enough to rate the girl’s report extremely convincing and after backgrounding a few cross-referenceable facts, it seemed to us almost certain that the girl was accurate in her identification.
The safety of kids comes first. Accordingly, we called LSPD and provided them with an informal accounting of the matter.
The two officers who arrived to take the report were typical Lake Stevens cops: that is to say prompt, professional, smart, and focused on the shit that matters. They quickly grasped the import of the girl’s story and at least one of the two cops was familiar with the Julian Willis reporting, including the TikToks.
We showed the other police officer the TikToks while her partner pounded away on his in-vehicle computer, before abruptly pulling out of the spot and jetting out of the parking lot, headed down 204 towards the trestle. The remaining officer walked through the specifics of the report again and said they’d be in touch if additional info was required.
Upon returning to the office, J425 learned that Willis is currently residing in Lake Stevens – and that the car described by the teenager matches the description of a compact foreign registered to a Willis’ associate.
Given our intent to report this information to the community, J425 reached out to the Mukilteo PD detective assigned to the Willis matter – but as with our earlier inquiry – we are yet to receive a response.
We can confirm that parallel school and police investigations into Willis remain ongoing. Willis was fired May 23, hours after J425 published a story detailing a 16-year-old Kamiak student’s claims that Willis had involved her in a criminal sexual relationship, both on and off campus – and in some cases – during school.
According to an affidavit filed by the Mukilteo Police Department, Willis has been under investigation of felony sex crimes involving a minor since March, after an anonymous complaint was routed through the former football coach that hired Willis and was responsible for both Willis and the minor victim, whom Willis first approached during football events where she worked as a volunteer trainer.
This is a man without a good reason to live past his judgment day, a man to whom the prospect of further judicial punishment holds no motivation. This is a man to whom the traditional ties to humanity no longer exist.
J425 was the first to break this story, Seattle media followed on later. Between our coverage and the Seattle network reports, Willis’ face has seen a fair bit of publicity. However, it was the TikToks republished by J425 that led the Lake Stevens girl to recognize Willis yesterday (TikToks featuring Willis suggestively mugging to the camera in half-buttoned shirts over his selection of music with graphic sexual lyrics – all filmed on location at Kamiak High School – have garnered nearly 50,000 views on J425’s Instagram. Follow @J425live.
In closing, consider for a moment that yesterday was Father’s Day. And that Julian Willis – father of two – experienced his first Fathers Day as a publicly-named suspect facing numerous felony sex crimes.
And while Kamiak High School fired Willis for his alleged sexual impropriety about a month after the matter came to light…Willis likely feels like he’s been given a stay of execution (so to speak) by the cogs of a state justice system that operates at a pace best judged in geologic time. Willis knows that the Mukilteo detective obtained a search warrant and took carpet out of two portables.
The cops took the carpet for DNA testing after the alleged victim described when and where Willis may have spilled body fluids on the threads of the portable carpets.
Willis knows whether he’s guilty. And he knows if he is, the DNA test will prove it.
He knows that if the DNA test pins him to the floor of those portables, he’s gonna face either a sure conviction or a deal that is a deal in name only.
He knows if he’s found guilty of even one charge, he’s stuck with lifetime sex offender registry and up to five years in prison – time that must be served with the rest of gen pop aware of the fact that he’s a pedo.
In short, Willis knows that the end of life as he knows it is right around the corner. And given that we know he didn’t care about consequences when he was a free man… with a beautiful family and burgeoning real estate career…do we really expect him to pay them any heed now?
Of course not.
See this man for what he is: a guy with nothing to lose and a recent track record of the destruction of innocence; a dangerous man who is very comfortable approaching and following minor girls in a place as public as the Lake Stevens Haggen on Father’s Day; a man that recently regained his concealed weapon rights at great personal expense; a man that filmed TikToks from the classroom in which he eye-(expletive)’d the camera while lyrics describing his intent to impregnate any female in his presence repeated every 15 seconds.
This is a man without a good reason to live past his judgment day, a man to whom the prospect of further judicial punishment holds no motivation. This is a man to whom the traditional ties to humanity no longer exist.
“I used to be a father,” he said. But Willis has two young kids. For him to cease being a father, one side of the equation would have to cease existing. Either him or the children.
If you see Willis, give him a wide berth.
If you have information about this matter, contact the Mukilteo Police Department. Remember that he is not currently charged with a crime, and as such his personal and property rights should be respected.
