KOREATOWN, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Los Angeles Police Department detectives are asking for the public’s help in identifying additional sexual assault victims after a man was charged with assaulting female high school students in Koreatown.

Kenneth Tellez Ordonez, 25, was arrested June 12 on charges of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in April.
