SUMMARY:

On Sunday, August 11, 2019, at approximately 11:00 pm, deputies were dispatched to St Bernadine’s Hospital in the City of San Bernardino for a sexual assault report. Deputy Song responded and began an investigation into the allegations.

The victim, an adult female, reported she had been sexually assaulted while attending a party at a residence in the 19800 block of Tomahawk Road in the Town of Apple Valley. Detectives from the Apple Valley Police Department assumed the investigation. The investigation led to detectives obtaining a search warrant, which was served on Friday, August 16 at 4:57 pm.

At this time, the suspect or suspects of the sexual assault remain unidentified and the Apple Valley Police Department is seeking the help of the public. It is reported that on the night of the sexual assault there were in excess of 700 persons at the residence and detectives believe someone may have witnessed the sexual assault.

For the past several weeks residents of this house have been hosting large parties where prostitution, underage alcohol consumption and illicit drug use occur. Nearby residents have complained of the loud parties and numerous vehicles traveling through their neighborhood. Parents of youth should not allow their children to attend these parties, which are widely advertised on social media sites.

Anyone with information about this investigation is asked to contact the Detective Division at the Apple Valley Police Department at (760) 240-7400 or Sheriff’s Dispatch at (760) 956-5001.
