Updated January 28, 2020 - 9:25 pm

After asking the public’s help to find a man who was “armed and considered dangerous,” police have arrested 54-year-old Ryan Lorraine in connection with a Monday sexual assault.

Lorraine faces felony charges of first-degree kidnapping, coercion, three counts of battery to commit sexual assault on a victim 16 or older, and five counts of sexual assault on a victim who is an older person, court records show.

The Metropolitan Police Department on Tuesday afternoon asked for help finding Lorraine. Members of the Criminal Apprehension Team, which is led by the FBI but includes Metro officers, arrested Lorraine on Tuesday near Summerlin Parkway and Rampart Boulevard, Metro said in an emailed statement.

Lorraine was taken to the Clark County Detention Center on Tuesday, Metro said.

Officers were called about 2 a.m. Monday to the 700 block of Langtry Drive, near Valley View Boulevard and Washington Avenue, after report of a domestic disturbance. When police arrived, the victim told police she had been sexually assaulted, Metro said.

Further information about the assault was not immediately available.

Anyone with information about this case can call Metro’s sexual assault section at 702-828-3421. Anonymous tips can be left with Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.
