David Josue Lopes, also known as David Lopez, was arrested last week in the Westlake area for the alleged kidnapping and sexual assault of a girl in Hollywood.

The 37-year-old's arrest is part of an ongoing investigation between the department's Juvenile Division-Stuart House Unit and the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office Sex Crime Unit.

Detectives believe there may be additional unidentified victims due to the bold and serious nature of the assault.
