WOODBRIDGE, Va. — A Virginia man is facing charges after police say he gave narcotics to underage girls before sexually assaulting them.
According to a press release from the Prince William County Police Department (PWCPD), 35-year-old Balmore Alexander Ortiz Guardado was arrested on Thursday.
Detectives with the Special Victims Bureau began investigating Ortiz Guardado in August 2021 after a sexual assault was reported to have happened at a home in the 13200 block of Nassau Drive in Woodbridge.
