A man was arrested on a felony count of sexual battery after climbing on top of a sunbathing woman and thrusting against her at a Santa Monica beach.
"It's horrible for the community. I can't stop thinking about that girl and how she must feel," said Santa Monica Mayor Phil Brock, reflecting on the incident.
The woman managed to stand and call for help, and with the assistance of her sister, they pushed the man away before he fled down the beach.
Police found Alonzo Dickson shortly after the incident, matching the description given by the victim, leading to his arrest without bail.
