O.C. man is accused of three rapes

A Lake Forest man was charged Wednesday with the sexual assault of three women after encountering them in Orange County bars, authorities said.

Sekayi Rudo White, 29, is accused of meeting a 19-year-old woman in December 2005 at Fox Sports Grill at the Irvine Spectrum. White apparently offered to drive her home because she had been drinking. When he arrived at her apartment, authorities said, White raped her.

White allegedly met a second 19-year-old woman at Atlanta Lounge in Huntington Beach in August. Authorities said he gave her a ride to his house, where she passed out and woke up naked in the defendant’s bed. White is accused of raping her.

A third victim, 28, was drinking with a friend at Patsy’s Irish Pub in Lake Forest on Sunday. White is accused of following the victim home and knocking on her door. Authorities said she allowed him in before passing out. She allegedly woke up naked in her bed as White was raping her. She punched him in the mouth, trying to fight him off, authorities said.

White faces a maximum sentence of 30 years to life in prison if convicted on rape and battery counts resulting from the incidents.

Deputy Dist. Atty. Lynda Fernandez of the sexual assault unit said the latest victim called 911 and that police caught White at her apartment.

There may be physical evidence in the latest case, but the first two rely primarily on testimony, Fernandez said.

White’s attorney, Daryl Anthony, was not available for comment.

Anyone with additional information is asked to call Investigator Craig Kelsey at (714) 347-8794.
