The Arlington County Police Department is seeking possible additional victims of a 94-year-old suspect charged with sex offenses.

Police on Feb. 22 announced that Adolfo Zambrano of Arlington had been arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated sexual battery. He was being held without bond in the Arlington County Detention Facility.

At approximately 6:25 p.m. on Feb. 10, officers were dispatched to the late report of an assault, police said in a statement. Upon arrival, it was determined that at approximately 4:30 p.m., a witness observed a suspicious incident between the known suspect and a child inside a residence along Columbia Pike.

The witness confronted the suspect, then he left the home. The witness subsequently contacted police, the police statement said.

During the course of the investigation, detectives determined the suspect inappropriately touched the child, police said. Additionally, detectives identified an adult female victim who reported having been touched inappropriately by the suspect in 1999 when she was a child, police said.

As a result of the investigation, detectives obtained warrants for his arrest and he was taken into custody on the evening of Feb. 16.

Anyone with past inappropriate encounters with this suspect or who has additional information related to this investigation is asked to contact Detective H. Molina at (703) 228-4208 or hmolina@arlingtonva.us. Information may also be provided anonymously through the Arlington County Crime Solvers hotline at (866) 411-8477.
