Man Arrested After Assaulting Woman He Met on Craigslist

Police believe there may be more victims after third woman reports sexual assault after meeting same man on Craigslist.

A man accused of sexually assaulting three women he met through Craigslist may have attacked others in the community, Garden Grove police said.

The 31-year-old man, whose name has not yet been released by police, was arrested Tuesday after a woman reported that he assaulted her after she responded to an ad he had placed on the website seeking female companionship.

The two met in Garden Grove Monday night, and at some point during the evening he “engaged in an unwanted sexual act with the victim,” according to a statement.

Investigators say two other women have reported similar allegations against the same man, and believe there may be more victims.

Anyone who may have information, or who may have had a similar encounter in the area, is asked to call Investigator Steve Heine at 714-741-5422.
