Attempting To Locate Sexual Assault Suspect
On Sunday, December 2, 2018 at approximately 10:50 a.m., El Segundo Police Officers were called to investigate a possible rape that occurred earlier that morning. The victim said at approximately 6:00 a.m., the above pictured suspect, Kerry Frank Lathon, introduced himself and began conversing with her on the Metro Green Line, near the Marine Avenue Station. Approximately one hour later, after exiting at the Douglas Street station in El Segundo, Lathon guided the victim to a secluded stairwell behind a parking garage in the 2300 block of East Rosecrans Avenue. He allegedly raped the victim at that point, then fled on foot in an unknown direction.
Lathon is a 35 year old transient and is currently on parole for criminal threats. He is known to frequent the cities of El Segundo and Hawthorne via the Metro Green Line. Lathon is currently wanted by ESPD Detectives for this crime.
