According to the San Bernardino Police Department, several female victims reported being sexually assaulted by a Hispanic male adult in the downtown area of San Bernardino between November 2019 and March 2020.

During the encounters, the victims would willingly get inside of the suspect's white Jeep or blue SUV where he would then produce a box cutter and rape the victims.

On March 24, two separate victims reported being raped in the same manner.

Police arrested Jonathan Arredondo, an active California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation parolee, in Riverside.

Arredondo was booked into the San Bernardino County Jail for forcible rape, sodomy, oral copulation and assault with a deadly weapon.

His bail has been set at $1.6 million.

Anyone with information was asked to call Detective Silva at 909-384-4890 or Sergeant Flores at 909-384-5659.
