A man suspected in a sexual assault last year in an off-Strip hotel has been arrested in California, Las Vegas police said.
The arrest comes about nine months after the alleged assault on July 12 at a hotel east of the Strip, in the 100 block of East Harmon Avenue. Oscar Gonzalez, 22, was taken into custody on April 5 in Huntington Beach, California, the Metropolitan Police Department announced in a statement Monday.
Police said a man forced a woman into her hotel room after escorting her there and then sexually assaulted her.
Gonzalez is currently being held at the Orange County Jail.
