A 24-year-old man suspected of riding a motorized scooter and exposing his genitals to two women during separate offenses in Moreno Valley was taken into custody, authorities announced Thursday.
The Moreno Valley Sheriff’s Station Investigation Bureau was notified around 2 p.m. on Tuesday of a possible suspect matching the description of a man riding a motorized scooter exposing his genitals last week near Farragut Avenue and Elsworth Street, where authorities took Ruben Potillo Delgado into custody, according to Riverside County Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Robert Martinez.
Deputies responded around 5 p.m. on May 29 near TownGate Memorial Park regarding a man exposing himself to a woman while riding a motorized scooter.
Upon further investigation, investigators discovered Delgado had allegedly grabbed the victim after exposing his genitals and rode away on his scooter to an unknown destination.
Martinez said another woman reported a similar incident around 2 p.m. on May 30 near Arbor Park and Dracaea Avenue before riding away on his scooter.
Delgado was also being linked to another alleged sexual assault involving a child in the 12100 block of Indian Street, which investigators have been investigating since January.
“In this incident, Delgado was confronted by the victim’s family, and he immediately fled the area; his whereabouts were unknown,” Martinez said in a statement.
Delgado was booked at the Robert Presley Detention Center on suspicion of felony sexual assaults and had a bail set at $1 million. Investigators believe there are possible additional victims and released a surveillance photo of Delgado in hopes that those individuals would come forward.
Anyone with information regarding the alleged assaults was urged to call Investigator Andrew McCracken or Deputy Bradly Bowdry at the Moreno Sheriff’s Station at 951-486-6700.
