Dallas Police have arrested two men accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl they lured into their van.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit, officers of the Dallas PD responded to a call after 6 pm on Saturday, October 23, to a gas station located in the 100 block of West Ann Arbor Avenue. Responding officers found the 14-year-old girl, who police said has been diagnosed with autism, crying, disheveled, disoriented, and extremely scared.
The affidavit stated that the girl told officers that she was walking down a street in West Dallas when Lukemond Olatunji, 43, and Vincent Thompson, 40, allegedly pulled up to her in a van. The girl told officers that she got into the white van they were driving because she believed they would drive her to her grandmother’s house. She said the two men instead took her to another location where they sexually assaulted her.
The affidavit also stated that the men later took the victim to a motel, where both men took turns assaulting her while the other held her down. According to the affidavit, the girl told investigators that the two men said they would not take her home if she did not comply.
Furthermore, according to the affidavit, the girl escaped from the motel room when both men left to get condoms. She was later found under Interstate 35E by a witness who took her to the gas station and called the officers.
Dallas PD arrested Olatunji and Thompson at the motel. According to the affidavit, the men told Dallas police that they picked up the girl and wanted to help her because she had nowhere to stay.
Olatunji and Thompson are each facing one count of aggravated sexual assault of a child. Olatunji’s bail was set at $250,000, while Thompson, also being held on a parole violation, had his bail set at $300,000.
