A second of four suspects has been arrested in connection with the case of sexual assaults of physically and mentally disabled women that was first brought to the attention of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department in March when an anonymous tipster delivered a DVD containing over 100 hours of recorded rape sequences.
In a statement made by Sheriff’s Captain Michael Parker, "27-year-old Ernie Lloyd of Los Angeles was arrested Saturday after he appeared at a Hollywood police station, saying he had seen himself on the news and knew he was wanted," reports CBS Local. Lloyd was being held in lieu of $100,000 bail and according to the AP it was not known if he had retained a lawyer.
Police had already identified one suspect, Bert Hicks, who is currently behind bars at Tehachapi State Prison on "two felony sex counts and two abuse counts," reports the AP.
