On Jan. 13, the Berkeley Police Department, in collaboration with agencies across the Bay Area and in Texas, arrested Lashay Durisseau for his alleged involvement in a series of violent sex crimes occurring between 1994 and 2008.
The city of Berkeley alleges the 56-year-old man is connected to multiple kidnappings and sexual assaults, involving seven victims over the 14-year period.
