DA Upgrades Charges to Felony for Long Beach Sexual Assault Suspect

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office has reversed its decision and filed felony charges against Miguel Avila, who was initially charged with a misdemeanor for sexually assaulting a woman on a Long Beach sidewalk. Surveillance video captured Avila following the victim, grabbing her from behind, and exposing himself before a good Samaritan intervened. The misdemeanor filing sparked outrage, prompting the DA's Office to review new evidence and upgrade the charges. Avila now faces felony charges for assault with intent to commit a forcible sex crime and sexual battery. He is currently in custody and due in court on Monday.
