District attorney's office asks people to come forward with information about any other alleged victims.

The Lake Forest man arrested near Grand Park on Friday for allegedly fondling a 6-year-old girl was charged Tuesday with sexually assaulting two female minors.

German Bravo DeJesus, 33, was charged with sexually assaulting an 8-year-old in 2009 while working at the Palm Terrace Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center in Laguna Woods and a 6-year-old on Friday. DeJesus is accused of fleeing the scene after allegedly assaulting the girl in Aliso Viejo's Grand Park. The girl was playing 10 feet from her family at the time of the alleged incident, authorities say.

The Orange County district attorney is seeking information about any additional alleged victims.
