Remember the serial “butt slasher” (aka the assaulter) who has been attacking young women in shopping malls across Northern Virginia? Well, the police (finally) have a suspect.
“Police named Johnny D. Guillen Pimentel, 40, as the suspect in one of the assaults. Police have not said where Guillen Pimentel lives. In nine separate incidents, young women have come forward, saying a man had slashed their clothing as they shopped.
Fairfax County Police spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell says detectives connected Guillen Pimentel to one of the cases. “We’re still investigating whether or not he may have been related to the rest of them [the cases],” Caldwell tells WTOP…
A list of the reported incidents:
- July 25, Fair Oaks Mall, Forever XXI

- June 18, Tysons Corner Mall, H & M

An arrest warrant on a charge of malicious wounding has been issued, but detectives believe Guillen Pimentel may have left the area.
Fairfax County Police say he may be driving a blue, 2003 Honda Civic with Virginia tag KLX2689.
