Robert Yucas, 51, faces life in prison if convicted in the case filed in Orange County. The women were “indiscriminately snatched" off an Aliso Viejo running trail in 2020 and 2021 as they were skateboarding, running and walking, Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said. Yucas allegedly put the women in chokeholds and dragged them into brush off the trail, prosecutors said. The sheriff did not give specifics of the San Diego County incident but said that DNA matched samples collected during two of the Orange County attacks. “The three victims were doing simple things, enjoying life in the city of Aliso Viejo: skateboarding, running and walking on a trail," Barnes said.
