Investigators are looking for more possible victims of a rideshare driver who was arrested following an alleged sexual assault of a female passenger in Malibu last month.

MALIBU, Calif. (KABC) -- The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is looking for more possible victims of a rideshare driver arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a passenger in Malibu last month.

Investigators say 28-year-old Kyle Jon Cook is suspected of sexually assaulting a female passenger who took a ride in his white Nissan Versa.

Cook was working as a rideshare driver at the time, and because of his access to rideshare participants investigators believe there may be more unidentified victims.

The suspect is about 5-foot-10-inches tall, 154 pounds.

Cook was arrested, booked and released pending an investigation by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

The Sheriff's Department did not specify which rideshare company Cook worked for.
