Fort Worth Police confirmed that a woman was sexually assaulted while walking to her car in the area last Monday.
Perez said several elements came together to track down Washington, including the use of technology.
“Not only did the sex crime detectives make the location just shortly after it occurred, we already had officers that were already into our real-time crime center scouring hours and hours of footage piecing together what they could,” said Perez.“Had it not been for her being as brave as she was to come forward right away and to let us know everything that occurred, who knows if this person could've gotten away with this,” said Perez.
Police said they entered Washington’s data into the FBI Violent Crime Apprehension Program database to determine whether he’s responsible for any other assaults. So far, no indication that Washington has previously committed similar crimes.
