A Santa Cruz man was arrested and accused of preying on women in bars downtown and sexually assaulting them while they were blacked out from alcohol intoxication.James Sharp, 36, of Santa Cruz, was booked into jail on $5 million bail Saturday and charged with rape. Sharp documented his victims by photographing women while they were unconscious, and he kept a list of their first names, Deputy Police Chief Steve Clark said."Mr. Sharp collected trophies in remembrance of his victims that included photos or personal items," Clark said. Sharp most often targeted women who were hanging out at Red, a popular nightlife spot on Locust Street that's also known as the Red Room. Detectives believe Sharp sexually assaulted or raped 15 women. MUG SHOTS: James Sharp"Sharp would take advantage of the victim’s intoxicated state and eventually have sex with them while they were blacked out, or too intoxicated to give consent," Clark said. Sharp was initially arrested on May 9 in a sexual assault case that was reported to the SCPD on May 6. He posted bail and was released. Detectives said when they served a search warrant on Sharp’s home on the 800 block of California Street, they found evidence in his house that connected him to more victims.While analyzing the evidence seized, detectives recognized a woman depicted in photos. The woman had reported on April 21 that she was sexually assaulted, but she had limited suspect information.On May 24, police officers found Sharp talking to young women inside a local bar on Pacific Avenue and arrested him again."When we arrested Mr. Sharp on the second case, we found him, again, in a local bar, he was talking to a couple of young ladies there, and he was following that same pattern," Clark said. Detectives requested a bail increase for Sharp so he could not quickly get out of jail again, and Superior Court Judge John Gallagher increased it to $5 million.VIDEO: 15 women allegedly sexually assaulted by James SharpDetectives are still working to identify additional victims."We believe there are more victims who have not come forward with reports. We are encouraging any victims to come forward and report any assaults involving Mr. Sharp. SCPD is committed to resolving the cases and providing care for the victims," Clark said.According to Sharp's Facebook profile, he graduated from Santa Cruz High School in 1996, studied psychology at Cabrillo College in Aptos, and works at a Trader Joe's store in Santa Cruz. He has a distinctive thin mustache that is curled up.Sharp’s alleged method of preying on women is an all-to-common occurrence in Santa Cruz, Clark said."Females report being victimized after drinking to the point where they pass out and/or black out and are unable to adequately care for themselves. In these circumstances, they are extremely vulnerable and oftentimes cannot recall details of the attack. These are incredibly difficult cases to solve, as oftentimes there is little or no suspect information or evidence," Clark said. "It's tragic."The Santa Cruz Police Department advised young party-goers who drink at night in public places like a beach or bar, to not over-consume alcohol to the point of being very drunk or blacking out, always have a designated driver, and don't go out by yourself."The Santa Cruz Police Department encourages responsible alcohol consumption and recommends traveling with a designated driver and friends when planning to drink," Clark said.
