A 24-year-old Santa Monica man accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting two UCLA students has been released on bail following his arrest, according to police officials.

Alexander Schecter faces charges including rape and kidnapping in connection with incidents that allegedly occurred in early March. Police say Schecter trapped two UCLA students in his vehicle during the alleged crimes.

Law enforcement officials believe there may be additional victims and are actively seeking information from the public. The nature of the alleged crimes and circumstances surrounding the incidents have prompted police to expand their investigation.

Schecter was taken into custody but has since been released after posting bail. The specific bail amount and conditions of his release have not been disclosed by authorities.

Police are urging anyone with information related to the case or potential additional incidents to come forward. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to determine the full scope of the alleged criminal activity.
