The San Diego Police Department is searching for victims of a man accused of multiple sex assaults within San Diego County between 2015 and 2019.
Juan Carlos Cordero, 35, was arrested by SDPD on March 21 and is being held on $2 million bail.
Police say Cordero, known as "JC' by some of his victims, typically approached intoxicated women near bars and nightclubs and convinced them to go with him to his apartment or hotel. He would also meet women on popular online dating networks like PlentyofFish and Craigslist and meet up with them on dates.
SDPD says Cordero would have his victims consume alcohol or drugs before sexually assaulting them. In some cases, he recorded his victims prior to and during the assaults.
Court documents reveal three women who have come forward claim Cordero performed the sex acts on them against their will or while they were unconscious. The earliest incident dates back to 2015 - the most recent allegedly occured last month.
Cordero, a six-year veteran of the U.S. Navy, is a former wealth management advisor at a Downtown firm. According to online records, he resigned from his position last October after he was accused of entering trades in discretionary accounts without proper authorization.
His defense attorney says the encounters in question were all consensual. He faces up to 32 years in prison if convicted on the current charges.
