A registered sex offender in Redwood City was arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting a teenage girl, police said Wednesday.
According to Redwood City police, a 14-year-old girl and her 13-year-old friend had gone to a parking garage in the 400 block of Broadway to drink alcohol on July 31. Officers were called to the 14-year-old's home after she returned to her residence intoxicated. The girl told police that she and her friend encountered a man who was walking through the garage with his dog. He gave the pair marijuana and encouraged them to drink.
According to police, she was able to distract Zarate and stop the assault and return home, where she provided police with a detailed description of her attacker. Detectives located a possible identification match for Bautista Zarate, and a search warrant allegedly uncovered evidence linking him to the sexual assault. Bautista Zarate was contacted shortly after the search warrant service and arrested.
