The hunt is on for possible additional victims after the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Special Victims Bureau made an arrest in a series of sexual assaults in Lancaster. Dijon Darrell O'Neal, 32, a registered sex offender and parolee, faces charges for the sexual assault of four women, which detectives allege occurred between September and December of last year. According to the Sheriff's Information Bureau, the suspect is accused of using social media dating sites to lure his victims to an empty house on Lingard Street, where the assaults took place.
With O'Neal under arrest since January 17, the authorities now suspect that there might be other victims, given the nature of these crimes. Though currently in custody, the details of his exploits send shockwaves through the community, prompting investigators to extend a call to the public. O'Neal was booked at the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station and remains in custody without bail, as reported by the Sheriff's Information Bureau.
The District Attorney's Office has slapped O'Neal with a series of felony charges, including two counts each of rape, forced oral copulation, and false imprisonment. His court case, numbered #24AVCF00101, sets the stage for a February 1 appearance at the Antelope Valley Courthouse.
The Special Victims Bureau leads the charge, urging those with any information to come forth while offering avenues for anonymous tips through "Crime Stoppers" and detailed contact methods listed on their alert. O'Neal's current booking information is accessible under booking number 6743883, as highlighted by the Sheriff's Information Bureau.
