Two men arrested after police find explicit photos of the pair with unconscious women
Two 23-year-old men were arrested after Glendale police found explicit photographs of them with women who were unconscious, one of which was reportedly posted on Facebook, police said.
The men, identified as Glendale resident Pedro Garcia and Lincoln Heights resident Bryan Lizarraga Castillo, had been out celebrating a friend’s birthday earlier this month when at the end of the night, they offered a mutual friend — a 22-year-old woman — a ride home, said Glendale Police Sgt. Robert William.

Prior to being offered a ride, the woman reportedly drank one beer from a plastic cup in the parking lot of a taco restaurant, though it was not clear who gave her the drink.
The victim told police she subsequently blacked out and woke up in Garcia’s car the following morning. Garcia’s phone was in the car, and on it, she found photographs of the three of them, with Garcia kissing her bare chest, William said.
Police found additional photos of the men in which another woman — who police have not identified — was passed out with her hand on their crotches, William said.
The two men were both charged with one count each of sexual battery and sexual penetration by foreign object, according to Los Angeles Superior Court records.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Glendale police at (818) 548-4911.
