Sicko who rubbed his genitals on woman’s face in SoCal Whole Foods arrested

Sheriff’s deputies on Monday captured the man suspected of placing his penis on the face of a Whole Foods Market shopper in a twisted sexual assault caught on horrifying in-store video.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies arrested Jared Paul Estrada, 28, of Valencia, for allegedly committing the sick crime that horrified patrons of the Valencia location of the upscale supermarket.

Officers collared Estrada in Huntington Beach without incident, said Sgt. Juan Murrales of the sheriff’s Santa Clarita Valley Station, which is investigating the case. Estrada is being held on charges of indecent exposure and sexual battery, Murrales said.

“Through an extensive investigation, the detective bureau, along with the station special team, was able to track down the suspect related to that caper today in Huntington Beach,” said Murrales.

The sick tale began on March 23, when a woman shopping at the Valencia Whole Foods was assaulted by a bearded weirdo who exposed himself to her in a perverted act that was captured on the store’s security camera.

In the video, the suspect is seen approaching a shopper as she kneels down to inspect items for sale in the store.

The shocking footage shows him lowering his pants before he presses his exposed genitals against the woman’s ear while holding what appears to be a cellphone.

On March 23, a woman shopping at the Valencia Whole Foods was subjected to a man who exposed himself to her — an act that was caught on the store’s security camera.

In the footage, the suspect is seen approaching a shopper as she kneels down. He’s seen on the video lowering his pants, then he presses his exposed genitals against the woman’s ear while holding what appears to be a cellphone, according to KTLA.

Authorities with the LASD sought the public’s assistance in identifying the individual shown in the video – and members of the public identified Estrada, said Murrales.

“With the public’s help, we were able to identify the suspect,” said Murrales.  

 Representatives for Whole Foods did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In a statement issued on the incident last month, a Whole Foods spokesperson said, “We are deeply concerned about the incident that occurred at our Valencia store on March 23.”

“We are cooperating fully with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department in their investigation,” the statement continued. “We have provided all requested information to law enforcement.”

The sheriff’s department said in a statement that, at this time, investigators are not aware of any additional related incidents in the Santa Clarita area
