April 24, 2026: Man Charged With Series of Sexual Assaults in Single-Day Crime Spree in the San Fernando Valley

Victims range in age from 6 to 73 years old; defendant faces more than 16 years in prison

SAN FERNANDO, Calif. - A 29-year-old man was charged today with a series of sexual assaults in the San Fernando Valley that occurred within a matter of hours last week involving eight victims.

"In a single day, this defendant is accused of committing various sex-related crimes that terrorized seven women and a young girl," said Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman. "This kind of behavior is calculated, warped and deeply disturbing. It is our job to hold this defendant accountable to ensure this doesn't happen again. We urge anyone else who believes they may have been a victim or a witness to call the Los Angeles Police Department."

Damian Denzell Robinson Jr. (dob 7/10/96) was charged in case 26SFCF00869 with two felony counts of assault with the intent to commit a forcible sex crime. He also faces six counts of misdemeanor sexual battery and one misdemeanor count each of engaging in lewd conduct and invasion of privacy by peeking at a minor.

He pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to return to Department S in the San Fernando Courthouse on June 2 for a preliminary hearing setting. Bail was set at $355,000.

On April 19, Robinson Jr. allegedly went into a store and pulled down the pants of a 64-year-old woman and groped her. Less than an hour later, the defendant is accused of trying to sexually assault a 73-year-old woman walking down a street.

Minutes later, Robinson Jr. allegedly sexually assaulted a 51-year-old woman on a nearby street. Over the next several hours, the defendant is accused of approaching four additional women and inappropriately touching them.

Robinson Jr. ended his day-long, alleged crime spree by trying to surreptitiously record on his phone a 6-year-old girl who was in store bathroom. He turned himself in at a sheriff's substation earlier this week.

If convicted as charged, Robinson Jr. faces up to 16 years and six months in state prison.

The case is being prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Hugh Jackson III of the Sex Crimes Division and remains under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department.

If anyone has additional information or believes they were a victim, please call the Los Angeles Police Department at (818) 832-0609.

The charges filed in this case are allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
