Sex Assault Suspect Accused Of Luring Men From Bars In Santa Monica, Venice

LOS ANGELES, CA — Police sought possible additional victims Wednesday of a 42-year-old man suspected in a series of sexual assaults in Venice and Santa Monica.

Jean Junior Dar, also known as Jean-Que or Que, was arrested May 21 following a report from a 24-year-old man who said in January that Dar had sexually assaulted him, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The ensuing investigation led to two additional male alleged victims, both in their 20s, reporting similar assaults, police said.

The victims in each case stated that they had met Dar at a bar, and he invited them to an after-party at his residence near Marina del Rey, where they were given drinks that incapacitated them, culminating in the sexual assaults, according to police.

Dar was booked on suspicion of penetration by a foreign object upon an intoxicated person and oral copulation upon an intoxicated person, but he has since been freed on bond.

Investigators believe there are additional victims who have not yet come forward. The department released a photo of Dar in hopes that victims will speak with investigators about the alleged assaults.

Anyone with information or victims who choose to come forward was urged to contact the LAPD Operations West Bureau Special Assault Section at 213- 473-0447. Calls made during non-business hours or weekends should be directed to 877-527-3247. Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or visit lacrimestoppers.org.
