The Los Angeles Police Department is on the search for potential victims of Babak Hajhosseini, a 42-year-old doctor accused of using job recruiting sites as a means to drug and sexually assault women. According to KTLA, Hajhosseini, the founder of Wound and Burn Centers of America located within the Cedars-Sinai Medical Office Towers, was arrested after one victim reported a rape incident. This event has sprung an urgent plea from the police for other potential victims to come forward.
LAPD PIO indicates that the alleged perpetrator offered high-paying job opportunities to lure women to work overtime at his residence. One woman stated that after being pressured to consume an alcoholic drink, she fell unconscious, at which time, Hajhosseini allegedly sexually assaulted her and recorded the act. Following his arrest on November 26, Hajhosseini was released several days later upon posting a $2 million bond.
Last week, he was formally charged with multiple counts, including drug-induced rape and rape of an unconscious person, stemming from accusations made by a single victim, as per KTLA. Nonetheless, the investigating authorities suspect that there are additional victims who have not yet stepped forward. The LAPD released a photo of Hajhosseini to assist in identifying potential victims and have made urgent calls for more information.

Anonymous tips can also be submitted online through Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or via the "P3 Tips" mobile application, making it easier for those who wish to come forward without revealing their identities.
