Clothing Store Employee Faces Assault Charge
An employee of a women’s clothing store in the Buena Park Mall is facing charges that he tried to sexually assault at least two female customers, including an undercover officer who was investigating the first alleged attack.
Waleed Madain, 41, of Anaheim was arrested March 11 on suspicion of sexually assaulting a customer in a dressing room at Monet, a women’s clothing store. The arrest came after the undercover officer investigating the report was also attacked, said Buena Park Police Sgt. Ken Coovert.
Authorities say that they have reason to believe at least three women may have been attacked and are asking any other victims or witnesses to come forward.
Madain, who worked at the store for about a year, was released from custody Sunday after posting $100,000 bail.
