California man arrested after video shows attempted kidnapping of 11-year-old girl in Los Angeles

WILMINGTON, LOS ANGELES — A new video shows a disturbing sexual assault and attempted kidnapping of a girl walking down the street in a Los Angeles area neighborhood.

The footage shows a man walking behind the 11-year-old girl down the street and on the sidewalk in a residential neighborhood.

He approaches her from behind and gropes her as she tries to free herself.

Suddenly, a neighbor is heard shouting “Hey, leave her alone!”

The voice startles the man, who lets go of the girl, turns and gets into a nearby car. He left in a gray Nissan Kicks.

The incident happened Monday around 3:15 p.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Jose Jaime, 30, was arrested Wednesday after detectives served a search warrant at his home, police said. He was arrested on suspicion of aggravated kidnapping and bail was set at $1 million.
