Arizona suspect accused of sexually assaulting a disabled person: police

Arizona authorities recently arrested a man who allegedly sexually assaulted a cognitively-disabled person back in October.

Buckeye resident Sergio Morales, 63, was arrested at his home on Monday by Buckeye Police Department officials. His arrest stems from an October 1 sexual assault incident.

Morales is accused of sexually assaulting a cognitively-disabled adult while the victim was on a walk near 4th Street and Centre Avenue in Buckeye.

After the assault, the victim was rushed to Southwest Family Advocacy Center for a forensic interview. Over the course of the last six months, detectives gradually obtained enough information to locate the suspect.
