WHITTIER, Calif. (KABC) -- The man accused of sexually assaulting a girl
in a bathroom at a Stater Bros. store in Whittier near Norwalk is due in
court Tuesday, and investigators believe there may be more victims who
haven't come forward.

The incident happened on Sunday at around 2 p.m.

According to investigators, the suspect - whose name has not yet been
released - followed the girl into the bathroom, locked the door, and
attempted to sexually assault her.

That's when the girl screamed for help and store employees and customers
rushed to save her, according to authorities.

Investigators said store workers were able to get in the bathroom and
detain the suspect until deputies arrived.

The girl was rushed to a local hospital where she received treatment. Her
condition is unknown.

The suspect was ultimately arrested and booked at the Norwalk Sheriff's
Station.

"Based on the nature of the offense, detectives believe there may be
additional unidentified victims," read a statement issued by the Los
Angeles Sheriff's Department. "Detectives are seeking the public's help in
identifying any such victims."

The suspect remains in custody and is being held on $250,000 bail.

He is scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday.

Stater Bros. Markets has since issued the following statement on the
incident.

"Stater Bros. Markets is aware of an alleged sexual assault taking place
at our Whittier location on Mulberry Dr. on Sunday, September 18, 2022. We
are fully cooperating with law enforcement as they conduct their
investigation. As this is an ongoing investigation, we will have no
further comment at this time."
