'Swiss Cheese Pervert' out on bail

Chris Pagano, the accused "Swiss Cheese Pervert" who allegedly terrorized Mayfair earlier this month, is back on the streets after posting bail, according to court records.

Pagano, who was arrested Thursday, was being held at Curran-Fromhold Correctional Faciltiy in Holmesburg over the weekend, with his bail set at $30,000.

He's now out, however, after posting 10 percent of that amount Sunday, court records show.

Pagano is due back in court Feb. 18 for a preliminary hearing.

The Norristown resident's arrest came Thursday as a result of a nearly weeklong investigation by the Philadelphia Police Department's Special Victims Unit.

Several women from Northeast Philadelphia told police that they had been approached by Pagano, who also allegedly posted about his fetish in detail on Craigslist and on various dating websites.

Gabby Chest, a Bridesburg native, told the Daily News that Pagano contacted her on OkCupid in 2012, asking her to "perform masturbation on him" with Swiss cheese.
