A Redwood City man was arrested for the sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl who he encountered in a parking garage July 31, according to police.
At about 10 p.m. that day, the girl went to the garage to drink alcohol with her friend, 13, and encountered George Bautista Zarate, 32, a registered sex offender, who was walking through with his dog. He allegedly gave the children marijuana and encouraged their alcohol consumption. The friend left and he allegedly sexually assaulted the girl, according to police.
She distracted him to stop the alleged assault but not before he offered her cocaine, according to police.
She returned to her residence and provided officers with a detailed description of Bautista Zarate. Detectives authored a search warrant for Bautista Zarate’s apartment and located several items of evidence linking him to the sexual assault, according to police.
