Bryan, Texas – A 22-year-old man, Johnny Villalobos-Vasquez, has been arrested and charged with five counts of Attempted Sexual Assault following a months-long investigation into a series of attempted sexual assaults in the Bryan-College Station area. The Bryan Police Department announced the arrest on Wednesday, detailing a coordinated effort with the Texas A&M University Police Department to address these alarming incidents.
The investigation is the result of multiple reports involving attempted sexual assaults within the city limits of Bryan and College Station. Villalobos-Vasquez was taken into custody on July 2, where he subsequently confessed to several of the attempted assaults during an interrogation with detectives.
One notable incident occurred in the early morning hours of June 29, when a Texas A&M student was approached by Villalobos-Vasquez near Cross Street and Dogwood Street in the U Centre Apartments area. According to police reports, the victim initially interacted with Villalobos-Vasquez, who asked for her name and phone number. After she declined his request, he allegedly returned and, without warning, grabbed her from behind while attempting to pull down her shirt. The victim screamed, which caused him to flee the scene.
Investigators were able to link Villalobos-Vasquez to the series of assaults thanks to various pieces of evidence collected along with witness accounts. The cases were examined under a controlled investigation, which spanned several months and included interviews with victims and witnesses, along with a thorough review of available evidence.
Currently, Villalobos-Vasquez remains in custody at the Brazos County Detention Center as police continue to investigate these incidents. Authorities are urging anyone with additional information related to the case or similar incidents to come forward and contact the Bryan Police Department at 979-209-5300.
