Metro Police have arrested a man they say picked up three women and sexually assaulted them at gunpoint in the span of four days.

Police arrested 21-year-old Thurman Jackson on June 24 with 10 counts of sexual assault with a deadly weapon, three counts of first-degree kidnapping with a deadly weapon and a count of battery by strangulation to commit sexual assault.

According to an arrest report released by the Justice Court, the first attack happened on June 18. The unidentified woman told police she was walking from a party in the historic West Las Vegas neighborhood when a man with dreadlocks, who was driving a silver car, offered her a ride home.

After she got into the vehicle, he parked behind a vacant building, demanded for her to undress and then sexually assaulted her multiple times before leaving her stranded. During the attack, he ordered her to call him “daddy.”

Two days later, police found a naked woman walking near D Street and Washington Avenue. According to the arrest report, she told police that a similar crime happened to her by a man with the same description.

A woman, who admitted to being a prostitute, told police she had been sexually assaulted by a man who had dreadlocks and drove a silver vehicle. According to the arrest report, the woman was walking near Washington Avenue and D Street.

She told police that Jackson asked her how much she charged for sexual relations and then she got into his car.

According to the report, Jackson pulled into an apartment complex parking lot where he put a gun to her head while he raped her in the vehicle and ordered her to call him “daddy.”

She said he choked her and took photos of her during the incident. Investigators later found a used condom at the scene of the attack.

Each of the women were sent to University Medical Center for a rape exam, according to the report.

Police found Jackson two days later and arrested him under two outstanding warrants. According to the report, police found drugs, a gun and bullets in the vehicle.

During an interview with investigators, police said Jackson changed his story several times, but eventually admitted to having sex with the women. Jackson also confessed to using a gun during the attacks, but said he never intended to shoot the women, according to a police report.

Jackson is being held at Clark County Detention Center and could face additional charges in the future.
