Sicko who rubbed his genitals on woman’s face in SoCal Whole Foods arrested
Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies have arrested a 28-year-old Valencia man in connection with a disturbing sexual assault that occurred inside a Whole Foods Market in Santa Clarita Valley.
Authorities say Jared Paul Estrada was taken into custody in Huntington Beach without incident following an investigation led by the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station. He is facing charges including indecent exposure and sexual battery and is currently being held in custody.
According to investigators, the incident happened on March 23 at the Valencia Whole Foods location. A woman shopping in the store was targeted while she was crouched down looking at merchandise. Surveillance video allegedly shows a man approaching her, exposing himself, and making inappropriate physical contact while holding what appeared to be a cellphone.
Law enforcement released information and images from the store’s security footage in an effort to identify the suspect. Officials said tips from the public ultimately helped lead detectives to Estrada, allowing them to locate and arrest him in Huntington Beach.
A spokesperson for the sheriff’s department said the investigation involved coordinated work between detectives and a special station team. They credited public assistance as a key factor in identifying the suspect.
Whole Foods also acknowledged the incident in a statement issued shortly afterward, saying the company was concerned about what occurred at the Valencia store and confirmed it had been cooperating fully with law enforcement by providing requested information.
Investigators say there is currently no indication that the incident is connected to any other similar reports in the Santa Clarita area.
