Sex offender accused of 6 sex assaults in one day as crime surge rocks affluent valley

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!A registered sex offender has been accused of carrying out a string of daytime sexual assaults against six women on the same day in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley, an area already grappling with a surge in high-end home burglaries, authorities said.Damian Denzell Robinson, 29, surrendered Wednesday at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Lancaster Station and is now in custody, according to police.Robinson had been sought in connection with at least six attacks on April 19 in the San Fernando Valley, where investigators say he allegedly preyed on victims, several described as elderly, over the course of several hours.The alleged spree comes as police warn of a broader rise in crime across the San Fernando Valley, including a string of organized home burglaries targeting affluent neighborhoods like Sherman Oaks, Studio City and North Hollywood — even as police ramp up patrols and deploy a dedicated task force.CHILD PREDATOR CLEARED FOR PAROLE ARRESTED AFTER SURPRISE WARRANT DROPS HOURS BEFORE PRISON RELEASEAuthorities say burglars have hit multiple homes in rapid succession, ransacking properties and targeting valuables, while other incidents, including a commercial copper wire theft that led to a police chase, highlight what officials describe as increasingly bold and coordinated criminal activity.While those crimes have largely focused on property, Robinson’s alleged actions mark a more personal and violent threat, with women targeted during the day in public places, including businesses, grocery stores and a retail restroom.The crime spree began shortly after 9:10 a.m. inside a business near Devonshire Street and Balboa Boulevard, where police say an “elderly female victim” was approached, overpowered and sexually assaulted before the suspect fled on foot.HOMEOWNERS IN LEAFY ENCLAVES HIT BY BURGLARS ZEROING IN ON HIGH-END HOMES FOR SMASH-AND-GRAB SCORESLess than an hour later, another woman near Forbes Avenue and Calahan Street fought off an attempted assault, holding onto her waistband and confronting the suspect, forcing him to run.By 10 a.m., a third victim reported being grabbed from behind and assaulted near Lassen Street and Encino Avenue — an incident investigators say was recorded on the suspect’s cellphone.Authorities say the attacks continued into the late morning and afternoon, including inside a grocery store near Vanowen Street and Corbin Avenue at 11:15 a.m., and again around 12:37 p.m. at another market near Mason Avenue and Sherman Way, where the suspect allegedly pulled down a victim’s clothing while recording.GOT A TIP?In one of the most alarming incidents, police say a woman inside a retail store restroom near Corbin Avenue and Nordhoff Street discovered she was being recorded from underneath a stall at 3:20 p.m.In each case, the suspect fled on foot before officers arrived.FOLLOW US ON X”The incidents were captured on closed-circuit television, which investigators used to identify the suspect,” police said.Robinson, who has a prior conviction for indecent exposure and lewd conduct and is required to register as a sex offender, was identified through that surveillance footage.GET BREAKING NEWS BY EMAILDetectives have released his booking photo, warning he may be responsible for additional, unreported assaults.

NYC councilman and Mamdani ally Chi Ossé arrested during eviction protest, video shows

NEWYou can now hear Fox News articles. A video shows New York City Council member Chi Osse being arrested and thrown to the floor in Brooklyn for protesting against a woman’s forced eviction. Osse was reportedly defending a constituent who faced eviction from her home after 60 years. The office of the 28-year-old stated in a press release that “Black displacement is occurring right now in Bed-Stuy,” and his constituent was “one of many Black homeowners fighting deed fraud in Brooklyn.” “Motherf —–,, that’s a Councilman, what are you doing?” A man can be heard screaming in the chaotic footage of Osse’s arrest on Wednesday. NEW YORK CITY LOSED RESIDENTS AT ALL INCOME LEVELS OVER THE LAST YEAR, STUDY FINDINGS I urge those who were taken in captivity to follow suit. I know that there are two people who did the same thing as me, and who have reported to be dealing with a concussion at this moment,” Osse stated following his arrest. “I hope that they are held accountable.” He added, “I hope the police commissioner will take a close look at their past and their histories. I also hope they take our complaints very seriously.” Deed theft is described by the New York City Department of Finance as “when criminals record false deeds, mortgages, or other liens on a property without its owner’s consent or knowledge”. Deed fraud can affect anyone, but it is most common among seniors, immigrants and people of colour. A police spokesperson told Fox News Digital the New York City Sheriff’s Office, along with NYC Marshals, were at an address in Brooklyn to “carry out an eviction” and determine if a person, who was a Georgia ward and was supposed to be living in Georgia, but hadn’t for several years, lived at the residence. MAMDANI DESCRIBES TRUMP’S RELATIONSHIP AMID RECENT BLOWOUTPolice say the NYC Marshals have a signed order by a judge to evict an individual. However, when they arrived protesters were blocking the building. According to a spokesperson for Fox News Digital, “As shown on body-worn video footage, Council Member Osse’s arrest occurred after two protesters had been arrested for blocking the entrance to the building.” The spokesperson said that when the two protesters were arrested, Osse wasn’t in front of the building. “Osse, after the two people were arrested, pushed past officers who tried to stop him from standing in the front of the gate and then began to block the entrance. “Police said that an officer verbally engaged Osse before trying to arrest, but Osse physically resist “attempts” to take his arms and hands, appearing to flail both his arms and his hands to prevent officers restraining.

DNA testing in Nancy Guthrie case could take months but may be fast-tracked, expert says

NEWYou can listen to Fox News articles now! A leading genetic genealogist predicts it could take several months for the FBI to receive the results of a hair test sent from a Florida private lab to the FBI. However, there are some reasons to believe that answers could come sooner. It’s been over 80 days since Guthrie was allegedly abducted from her home, located in the Catalina Foothills in northern Tucson, Arizona. She is the 84 year old mother of “Today’s” co-host Savannah Guthrie. “In my experience it usually takes months but I am assuming that they will make this a priority since the majority of the cases are cold cases, so it may be quicker,” CeCe, one of America’s leading genetic genealogy experts at Parabon Nanolabs, Virginia, told Fox News Digital.
