18-year-old arrested after alleged groping

An 18-year-old male was arrested for allegedly groping an Orange

Coast College student Friday morning. Jesse Lara was apprehended

after he groped a 24-year-old Huntington Beach resident.

Lara reportedly followed his target around campus for a little

while then grabbed her from behind and grinded his pelvic area

against her, said Costa Mesa Police Dept. Sgt. Bob Ciszek. Lara tried

to pull her away from where she was standing, but she was able to

break free, Ciszek added.
