Oscar Medrano, 38, of Bay Point, was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of groping two women at a Bay Point bakery on Dec. 2, and for later allegedly groping a third woman in another part of town. During the second sexual assault, Medrano allegedly pulled over in his Dodge Charger on Willow Pass Road and forcibly touched a woman who was walking on the sidewalk, authorities said.
The next day, Medrano allegedly groped a 15-year-old girl at a store on Willow Pass Road, authorities said. Later that day, a Contra Costa Sheriff’s deputy recognized him in the Charger, wearing the same clothing all four victims described, and arrested him, according to court records.
Medrano was charged in late November with indecent exposure and soliciting a lewd act, both misdemeanors, for allegedly exposing himself to a nurse who was attempting to examine him at a hospital in Pittsburg, authorities said. He was noticed about the charges and a Jan. 2 court date after the case was filed, court records show.
Now, Contra Costa prosecutors have been given a new case file on Medrano for this latest string of incidents. No decision has been made about what new charges, if any, will be filed, authorities said. In the meantime, Medrano remains out of custody.
