(FOX 11) - Officers from the Mission area Los Angeles Police Department, arrested 40-year-old Aaron Clark for multiple sexual assault related offenses. Two victims came forward with allegations of being assaulted by Clark between April 13 and 14, 2019.
Clark was convicted in 2003 for sexual assault after victimizing two minors. He served time in prison and was ordered to register as a sex offender. In 2014, Clark was convicted of child molestation and returned to prison. He was released on parole on March 15, 2017.
On April 16, 2019, the Los Angeles County District Attorney filed one count of forcible rape and one count of forcible oral copulation against Clark, who is currently being held on $1.2 million bail.
