Man arrested in attempted sexual assault on woman
A man has been arrested in the attempted sexual assault of a woman in the Silverado Ranch area of Las Vegas on Sunday, and police are trying to determine if he has victimized other women.
Las Vegas police said Monday they arrested Carlos Montero, 36, in the burglary and attempted sexual assault of a woman at a home near East Silverado Ranch Boulevard and Eastern Avenue. Police said Montero “entered a residence and attempted to sexually assault a female adult.”
Very few details were released about the incident. Montero was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on suspicion of burglary, attempted burglary, kidnapping, attempted sexual assault and battery with intent to commit sexual assault.
