The Los Angeles Police Department’s (LAPD) Juvenile Division Abused Child Section is appealing to the public for help in identifying more victims following the arrest of a 29-year-old man on suspicion of sexual assault.
On Thursday, June 28, 2023, LAPD detectives apprehended Peter Avraham Shure, a resident of the Westchester neighborhood in Los Angeles, under the charge of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor under 18 years old (Booking No. 6631955). The arrest came after two separate reports of forced sexual assault involving female victims. According to investigators, the suspect lured the victims to his residence, where the alleged sexual assaults took place. Detectives suspect that there may be additional victims yet to come forward.
The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office reviewed the investigation and subsequently filed two counts against Peter Shure: one count of rape (Penal Code §261(A)(2)) and one count of lewd acts against a child 14 years old or younger (Penal Code §288(C)(1)). Bail was set at $320,000.00, and as of July 3, 2023, Shure posted bail and was released from custody.
