Los Angeles police searching for man who allegedly sexually assaulted 6 women in one day

While Los Angeles Police Department detectives continue searching for a man who allegedly sexually assaulted six women in one day in Northridge and recorded some of the encounters with his cell phone, they've also asked additional victims to come forward.

Damian Denzell Robinson, 29, was identified as the suspect wanted in connection with the string of incidents, which happened on Saturday, April 19, 2026, according to a news release from the LAPD. They say that he has a prior conviction for indecent exposure and lewd conduct, which requires that he register as a sex offender.

Police say that he targeted several women, beginning early Saturday morning. They said that the assaults happened:

• At 9:10 a.m. in a business near Devonshire Street and Balboa Boulevard, where an"elderly female victim" had allegedly been assaulted. Police say that Robinson approached the woman and pulled her pants down before grabbing her and sexually assaulting her, the release said. 
• At 9:55 a.m., police were called to Forbes Avenue and Calahan Street, where they say Robinson approached "another elderly female victim" and attempted to pull her pants down. She was able to hold onto her waistband and confront the suspect before he ran from the area, police said.
• At 10 a.m. near Lassen Street and Encino Avenue, where a victim told police she was grabbed from behind by Robinson and sexually assaulted while he recorded the incident with his cellphone. 
• At 11:15 a.m., police say that another victim said she was inside a food market near Vanowen Street and Corbin Avenue, where Robinson allegedly approached the woman from behind, grabbed her and sexually assaulted her, police said. 
• At 12:37 p.m., another victim reported being assaulted inside a food market, this time near Mason Avenue and Sherman Way. Robinson allegedly approached the woman and pulled her pants and underwear down while he recorded the incident with his cell phone. 
• At 3:20 p.m., police said that a victim was in the restroom of a retail store near Corbin Avenue and Nordhoff Street, where Robinson allegedly was recording her from underneath the changing room stall. 

In each of the instances, police said that Robinson had already fled from the scene on foot by the time they arrived. 

"The incidents were captured on closed-circuit television, which investigators used to identify the suspect," police said. 

Detectives described Robinson as standing 6-foot-3 and weighing around 200 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black baseball cap, a white t-shirt, tan plants and blue/white Nike shoes. He was also wearing eyeglasses. 

They shared Robinson's previous booking photo because they believe that he may be responsible for additional unreported sexual assaults. 

"We are actively investigating this matter and encourage any additional victims to come forward and complete a police report," police said.
