Immediate Response and Victim Support Following Assault Attempt at Kellogg Park
On Sunday night, a violent incident unfolded at Kellogg Park on the west side of Ventura when officers responded to a frantic call for help at approximately 11:00 p.m. The report described a woman screaming and needing urgent assistance — and when officers arrived, they discovered a sexual assault in progress.
The suspect, identified as 32-year-old Male, attempted to flee the scene. A foot pursuit ensued, spanning roughly one block, after which the suspect was apprehended by law enforcement officers. He was immediately arrested and booked at the Ventura County Jail facing multiple felony charges related to sexual assault. Initial investigation indicates the victim and the suspect were strangers.
The victim received immediate medical attention, and was connected with local services dedicated to supporting survivors of sexual assault. This quick intervention by officers not only prevented further harm, but also ensured the victim’s safety and access to vital resources. As the department’s chief noted:
“This was a horrifying situation that no one should have to face… Our officers’ quick response prevented further harm and ensured the victim received immediate support.”
The investigation remains ongoing with the Ventura Police Department’s Special Victims Unit taking lead. Kellogg Park and the surrounding neighborhood are subject to regular patrols, underscoring the department’s unwavering commitment to public safety and to supporting victims of violent crime.
What This Means For You: Safety and Awareness
While community parks like Kellogg Park are designed for enjoyment, relaxation and recreation, this incident serves as a reminder of the importance of remaining alert — especially in less-populated, low-visibility areas. Here are some key personal-safety suggestions:
Trust your instincts; if something feels wrong, leave the area and call 9-1-1 immediately.
Stay in well-lit, populated spaces whenever possible, particularly after dark.
During times of vulnerability (evening hours, seclusion), consider bringing a buddy or notifying someone of your location.
If you witness suspicious behavior, make the call to law enforcement — your awareness could make the difference in stopping a crime.
Victims of sexual assault are encouraged to seek medical attention and connect with victim-support services without delay. Time-sensitive evidence preservation and immediate care often make significant differences.
