A 15 year old girl was walking home, Wednesday, April 11, 2011, on Santa Anita Avenue at Genoa Street, when she was approached by a male who convinced her to get into his car and assist him with directions. The male drove the girl into West Arcadia and then back to the area of Genoa Street and First Avenue. After stopping the car, the male suspect began rubbing the girl’s neck and shoulders while asking her if she had a boyfriend. The suspect then grabbed the girl’s breasts. The victim tried to get out of the car, but the door was locked. She persuaded the suspect to drive back toward Santa Anita Avenue, but he again stopped the car and began similar advances toward the girl. The victim was able to exit the car, but was grabbed on the arm by the suspect. She pulled away and ran off. The crime occurred at about 4:30 p.m.
