Suspect Jeffrey Brewer, 41, was arrested late Friday night.
According to a statement from the UCLA Police Department, the suspect allegedly entered a room at Saxon Residential Suites, 300 De Neve Drive, around 2:40 a.m. Friday and sexually assaulted the woman while she was in bed.
Brewer then left the room in an unknown direction, and the woman “received medical treatment at the scene,” the statement said.
“Detectives quickly developed a lead and after a full day of searching, officers located and arrested the suspect at approximately 9:45 p.m.,” the statement read. “The victim and two witnesses identified the suspect.”
