Serial Child Sexual Assault Suspect In South LA Likely Has More Victims, Investigators Say
SOUTH LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – Police are seeking more victims of a man investigators believe is responsible for sexually assaulting several girls in South Los Angeles over the past 15 years.
Christopher William Roby, 39, is charged with sexually assaulting four girls over a period dating from 2003 to 2018, according to the L.A. County Sheriff's Department. The assaults occurred in South L.A., Compton and Willowbrook.
"We know he's violent, he's dangerous. I believe he did go after — he targeted vulnerable, young girls and took advantage of them," said LASD Lt. Todd Deeds. "He intimidate young girls not to cooperate with law enforcement."
Roby was arrested April 26 and is being held on more than $7 million bail, according to inmate records. He is currently awaiting trial.
Investigators believe Roby has more victims and are asking anyone with information on the case to come forward.
