Latta allegedly "searched" the victim by touching her breast and all over her body.

Abc 7 quoted Lt. Bob Wright as saying, "The victim did not recognize her. The victim thought it was an official law enforcement person, therefore just went out with her, believing that she was in some type of trouble." The woman is a Huntington Beach resident and the motive behind the incident is unknown.
