Parolee arrested for sexually abusing Santa Ana mother while shopping with her children – New Santa Ana

Earlier this week, patrol officers responded to an incident of sexual assault involving a woman and her children, according to SAPD.

The victim stated that the suspect approached her on a bicycle as she walked through a supermarket parking lot. He sexually assaulted her and attempted to drag her daughter away before fleeing.

Our officers radioed a description of the suspect to other SAPD units, which led to his quick arrest nearby.

Further investigation revealed that the suspect was a parolee who had previously abused two other women on the same day.

This incident highlights the outstanding efforts of our officers in collaboration with our community that made this arrest possible.
