Las Vegas police seek leads from public after sexual assault arrest

Las Vegas detectives are asking the public for more information after a 58-year-old man was arrested on sexual assault charges last week.

Francisco Tovar-Lugo was arrested Thursday on charges of sexual assault and open and gross lewdness, police said. He was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on $50,000 bail, jail records show.

“Detectives believe there may be additional victims,” the Metropolitan Police Department said in a news release Monday.

Further information on the case was not immediately available. The Review-Journal requested Tovar-Lugo’s arrest report on Friday, but had not received it as of Monday afternoon.

A court hearing in the case is scheduled for Tuesday morning.

Anyone with information may contact the Metropolitan Police Department’s sexual assault section at 702-828-3421 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.
