SEAL BEACH, Calif. (KABC) -- A Torrance man is accused of sexually assaulting a woman at the Seal Beach gas station where he worked as a cashier, officials said.

Authorities say the alleged assault happened at the Seal Beach 76 gas station at 13980 Seal Beach Blvd. on July 25.

A 29-year-old woman bought lottery tickets from the gas station store where Adel Rezkallaa, 45, of Torrance was working as a cashier.

Officials allege Rezkallaa followed the woman out of the station, approached her from behind and grabbed both of her breasts.

The woman left and reported the incident to police.

Rezkallaa is facing a misdemeanor charge of sexual battery.

Investigators are seeking other potential alleged victims and asked anyone with information to contact supervising investigator Billy Hester with the Orange County District Attorney's Office at (714) 896-7161.
