Man Accused of Sexually Assaulting Woman on Los Angeles Bus
Law enforcement officers are searching for a man who they believe sexually assaulted a mentally disabled woman in the back of a Metro bus in broad daylight. According to a CBS2 news report, the alleged sexual assault occurred after the 18-year-old woman boarded the bus at Jefferson and La Cienega boulevards in Baldwin Hills. Officials believe the man followed the woman to the back of the bus and started sexually assaulting her.
The only other passenger in the bus notified the driver who got on the intercom and pulled over. The suspect left the bus at Slauson Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard. The victim, who officials say has the mental capacity of a 10-year-old, reported the incident to the authorities. Investigators have released security camera footage of the man in the hopes of determining his identity.
