A man suspected of sexually assaulting two women in separate incidents earlier this month in the Fairfax and West Hollywood areas was in custody Friday, and police urged other possible victims to contact authorities.
The crimes occurred between 12:30 p.m. and 1 p.m. on Feb. 15 in the 800 block of Vista Street in the Fairfax area, and in the 7600 block of Hampton Avenue in West Hollywood, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Gabriel Hodges, 27, described as “a New York native experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles,” was arrested on Feb. 17, the LAPD reported. On Tuesday, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office filed counts of aggravated kidnapping, residential burglary with intent to commit a sexual assault, and assault with intent to commit rape against Hodges, who remains in custody on $2.1 million bail, the LAPD said.
“Due to local homeowners' excellent security systems and cameras, they were quickly able to obtain video of the first assault and images of the suspect creeping through the neighborhood,'' police said.
