You need to come with me.' I said, 'Why? I've done nothing,'" Anna said.Police said the man handcuffed Anna and threatened to deport her."Then he took off the cuffs, led me to the bedroom, and that's when he told me to take off my clothes," Anna said.Sex Crimes Detective Lorenzo Mares said the victims complied because they didn't know any better.Investigators said the man has targeted at least two women. Both crimes occurred around lunchtime, near 28th Street and McDowell Road in September.The man is described as white, 6 feet tall and 170 pounds. He is between 27 and 35 years old with light brown hair and blue eyes.
