Man accused of impersonating police officer faces new sexual assault charges

A second victim was identified Monday in a case involving a man accused of sexually assaulting women while impersonating a law enforcement officer, Las Vegas police said.

Mark Picozzi, 48, of Las Vegas, was re-booked into Clark County Detention Center as a result. He faces new charges including sexual assault, robbery, first-degree kidnapping, impersonating a public officer and oppression under color of office.

Picozzi was initially arrested Thursday on charges including four counts of sexual assault, impersonating a police officer, oppression under color of office and false information to a police officer. He was arrested after an escort claimed to have been sexually assaulted by him at a Strip hotel.

Police continue to investigate and are searching for possible additional victims.
