The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said yesterday that they've located the man who turned in 11 DVDs last March that contained more than 100 hours of disturbing video of sexual assaults on disabled women. The man, who is not being identified and who is not suspected of any wrongdoing, told investigators that he turned in the content anonymously because he feared for his safety.
The tipster, a computer technician, revealed Sunday to authorities that a drug addict had given him a computer to clean its hard drive. Before cleaning the drive, he saw the videos and copied them and sent them to the sheriff's department with a note. He contacted authorities recently after seeing coverage of the ongoing investigation in the news.
The DVDs included both video shot by a security surveillance-type camera, as well as a handheld camera. Many of the assault victims were severely disabled, and some were even wearing diapers. Sheriff's detectives said more than 50 tips have come in with quality information.
