Following the arrest of a 32-year-old man suspected of allegedly committing at least two sexual assaults, police Wednesday are seeking additional potential sexual assault victims.
Detectives from the West Bureau Special Assault Section released a photo of Clinton Adams, who was taken into custody on Nov. 19, in hopes of encouraging additional victims to come forward, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Adams was described as a 6-foot-1 Black man weighing 170 pounds, with brown eyes and dreadlocks.
Detectives say on two different occasions, Adams met women and told them he lived at a home in the Pacific Palisades, and that home was actually vacant because of the January fire.
"To me, that was especially disturbing that he would take advantage of that, as that community was healing, to sneak in there and represent the home as his own," Detective Brent Hopkins told KNX News' Emily Valdez.
"Both victims came forward to report the sexual assaults and identified Adams by name," the police department said in a statement.
Police said Adams is known on social media platforms under the username Clintinlord, but it remains unclear if he targeted the two women or potential additional victims online.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office filed three counts of rape by use of force against Adams, along with an additional count of assault with the intent to commit a felony, police said.
Adams is being held on $1.42 million bail and expected to appear back in court Monday, according to court records.
Anyone who may have been victimized by Adams or may have additional information about the alleged assaults was urged to call the LAPD Operations West Bureau Special Assault Section at 213-473-0420.
Calls during non-business hours or the weekends should be made to 877- 527-3247. Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or visit lacrimestoppers.org.
