Sex offender held in Wilshire attack
A convicted sex offender wanted for parole violations has been arrested on suspicion of breaking into a Wilshire-area home and raping a woman.
Authorities said Wednesday that fingerprints and DNA evidence connected Damicii D. Brown to the New Year’s Day crime.
Brown, 35, was arrested late Tuesday during an LAPD stakeout, after he was spotted in an allegedly stolen car pulling up to a relative’s home in the 2500 block of South Bronson Avenue, police said.
Brown spent 14 years in prison for a rape and kidnapping and was a registered sex offender. He had failed to report to his parole officer or to charge a tracking bracelet he was required to wear.
