L.A. detectives identify two suspects in disabled rape case

Los Angeles (CNN) -- Investigators have identified two men shown in a video apparently sexually assaulting disabled women in a care home and other places, Los Angeles Country sheriff's detectives told CNN Friday.

One suspect is Bert Hicks, 41, who is now serving a state prison sentence in Tehachapi, California, for fiduciary crimes, abuse and sexual assault in a residential care facility, said sheriff's Detective Ron Anderson.

Hicks allegedly took a disabled woman to Las Vegas, married her and then brought her back to the care facility, where she was repeatedly sexually assaulted by other men, Anderson said.

Authorities don't know if the crimes Hicks was convicted of are the ones depicted on video, Anderson said.

Sheriff's investigators announced their investigation into the video Thursday, when they issued a public appeal for help because the video was mailed to them by an anonymous tipster.

City of Los Angeles police detectives saw Thursday's media coverage and told the sheriff's office that they could identify two of the four suspects shown in composite sketches, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. Dan Scott told CNN.

Hicks and the other suspect were under investigation by Los Angeles police in 2007 and 2009 cases, Scott said. The other suspect identified by Los Angeles police was never charged because of a lack of evidence, but authorities know where he is, Scott said.

The 13 DVDs mailed by the anonymous tipster to the sheriff last March contain more than 100 hours of video of at least 10 men apparently sexually assaulting at least eight severely disabled women in a care home and several other locations, according to Scott and Anderson.



Investigators believe the sexual assaults occurred in the past three to five years, Anderson said.

There are some sick f**ks out there and there seems to be no limit to their ability to make us wonder.

Someone should leak one of the videos to Hicks' fellow inmates, and they'll take care of everything.

For cases like this, torture was created.
