UCLA police arrest serial assault suspect; zip ties, duct tape, rope seized as evidence

WESTWOOD, LOS ANGELES (CNS) -- A 29-year-old man suspected in a series of assaults on the UCLA campus was taken into custody Friday.

Olumuyiwa Akindahunsi was booked early Friday morning on suspicion of robbery, attempted kidnapping, assault with intent to commit a sex offense, and sexual battery, with bail set at $2.3 million, according to the UCLA Police Department.

Police said Akindahunsi is not affiliated with the university and may be homeless.

Officers responded at about 11:35 p.m. Thursday to reports of a robbery on Bruin Walk. According to police, a suspect approached a student from behind, forcibly stole her cellphone and fled.

Officers then began receiving additional reports of assaults at multiple residential facilities, including De Neve Evergreen, Dykstra Hall, and Cedar Hall, police said, noting the suspect was believed to have followed or approached female victims in each incident to physically assault them or attempt to restrain or sexually abuse them.

"In each incident, the victims were able to fight back or witnesses intervened, allowing the victims to get away and notify police," according to a police statement.

An assault at Cedar Hall was reported at approximately 12:05 a.m. Friday, when a witness heard a victim calling for help, intervened and pursued the suspect as he fled the building. Witnesses led officers to the suspect's location near Parking Structure 8 and detained Akindahunsi without incident, police said.

Investigators recovered evidence believed to be associated with the attacks, including zip ties, duct tape, and paracord.

From the LA Times:

“ Akindahunsi is not believed to be connected to prior incidents at or around the UCLA campus, Richard Mejia, director of emergency communications, said in a statement.”

So they caught this guy, but he’s not related to previous assaults there, so there are still predators on the loose there.

Authorities also believe the man is experiencing homelessness.

"Experiencing homelessness."

I guess that's the "journalist's" way of making Kunta Kinte the real victim here.

There was a close call where a judge almost ruled that the Luigi outright evidence during his arrest could be totally kept from the jury or from being referenced, since a detailed court warrant didn’t get issued stating all of the items.

Time and time again juries cannot hear the confession recorded or see the evidence (bloody hatchet, gun, magazines, zip ties, plastic bag used to suffocate the victim including blood on it....) and the GUILTY thugs go free.

Screw the lousy “system of justice.”

No tarps, hacksaws or gallons of bleach?
