LAKEPORT, Calif. – Three Lakeport men were arrested on Friday for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman.


Isaiah Reyhan Rodgers, 26; Ajai Raheam Rodgers, 22; and Leandro Ridgel Guerrero, 21, were booked into the Lake County Jail on felony charges of attempted rape, sexual battery, assault to commit rape and rape in concert with force or violence, according to a report from Sgt. Kevin Odom.


At 7 a.m. Friday a 24 year old female victim flagged down a Lake County Deputy Sheriff in the 1000 block of Armstrong Street and reported she was sexually assaulted, Odom said.


Odom reported that the woman told the deputy that the suspects were driving away in a vehicle, which she pointed out to the deputy.


The deputy conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle and detained the occupants while officers from the Lakeport Police Department contacted the victim, Odom said.


The investigation revealed the victim was at her residence in the 1000 block of Armstrong Street during the early morning hours socializing with the suspects, according to Odom. She told police she was acquainted with the suspects and had met them the past evening at a local bar.


Odom said she reported the suspects made sexual advances towards her. When she told them to stop, she reported she was held down by the three suspects and was sexually assaulted by at least one of

them.


An “infield show up” – an identification procedure in which an alleged victim is allowed to identify suspects in the field – was performed at the vehicle stopped by the deputy, and the three were arrested, Odom said.


The vehicle's fourth occupant was subsequently interviewed at the police department and released, according to Odom.


Odom said the investigation is ongoing.


Anyone with information is urged to call the Lakeport Police Department, 707-263-5491.
