A Navy recruiting officer charged with sexually assaulting a woman who had visited an El Monte recruiting station was arrested by police Wednesday, authorities said.
Van Van Tran, 40, allegedly assaulted the woman after she took a practice entry exam at the recruiting station March 9.
Tran drove the woman in a vehicle, telling her they were going to a library to get "study aids," the Los Angeles County district attorney's office said in a statement. Instead, Tran allegedly assaulted the woman and let her go, authorities said.
Tran was taken into custody by El Monte police on a felony complaint and arrest warrant filed by the district attorney's office. He was charged last week and is scheduled to be arraigned Friday at the Pomona courthouse.
Tran was being held in lieu of $100,000 bail.
