Authorities in Santa Clara County have arrested a young suspect in connection with a series of sexual assaults in San José. The arrest follows an investigation into multiple incidents, including one where the suspect allegedly followed a woman in a parking lot before assaulting her.
Law enforcement officials have not released the suspect's name due to his age, but confirmed that he is being held at the Santa Clara County Juvenile Hall. The attacks occurred in various locations across San José, prompting a coordinated effort by the San José Police Department and the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office.
Investigators are urging any additional victims or witnesses to come forward. The suspect faces multiple charges, including sexual battery and assault with intent to commit a felony.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about public safety in the city, particularly in parking areas and other isolated spots. Community leaders have called for increased patrols and better lighting in vulnerable areas.
The suspect is scheduled to appear in juvenile court later this week. The investigation remains active, and authorities are reviewing surveillance footage and other evidence to determine if the suspect is linked to other unsolved cases.
