[##_1L|1300379934.bmp|width="250" height="138" alt=""|_##]A Santa Fe man suspected of stripping to his underwear in a local business was arrested today and quickly became a ‘person of interest’ in a series of sexual assaults.
For now David Giba is being held without bond charged with breaking and entering and indecent exposure, according to police.  He is expected to be arraigned on those charges Friday.

Giba, said to be in his 40s, is alleged to be the man recorded on a business surveillance system walking around partially clothed.  KRQE News 13 broadcast photos from the business, first with the face obscured at the request of police, and then today with his face visible.

Police said they received several calls about the identity of the man in the photos.

Giba works in a law firm in Santa Fe, possibly as a receptionist, and that's where he was arrested late this morning.  At this point he has not been charged with any of the seven attacks on women.

“We are not prepared to call him a suspect at this point,” Capt. Gary Johnson of the Santa Fe Police Department said.  “However he is a strong person of interest, and we are going to compare him to these other assaults and see if we develop any other information."

Police are hoping to compare Giba’s DNA with DNA collected at crime scenes.

In addition Johnson said Giba is believed to be a registered sex offender in Oregon although requirements in Oregon don't meet guidelines for registration in New Mexico.

Illinois Work Injury Lawyers – Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD.

Accidents in the workplace are often caused by unsafe work conditions arising from ignoring safety rules, overlooking maintenance or other negligence of those in management. While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated solely to the representation of injured workers, we pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one approach we deliver to each client.

Work accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes permanent damage. Some extremely serious work injuries can permanently hinder a person’s ability to get around and continue their daily duties. Factors that affect one’s quality of life such as place of work, relationships with friends and family, and social standing can all be taken away quickly by a work injury. Although, you may not be able to recover all of your losses, you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your work injury. Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD. provides informed advocacy in all kinds of workers’ compensation claims, including:

• Injuries to the back and neck, including severe spinal cord injuries
• Serious head injuries
• Heart problems resulting from workplace activities
• Injuries to the knees, elbows, shoulders and other joints
• Injuries caused by repetitive movements

For Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims, you will ALWAYS cheat yourself if you do not hire an experienced attorney. When you hire Krol, Bongiorno & Given, Ltd, you will have someone to guide you through the process, and when it is time to settle, we will add value to your case IN EXCESS of our fee. In the last few years, employers and insurance carriers have sought to advance the argument that when you settle a case without an attorney, your already low settlement should be further reduced by 20% so that you do not get a “windfall.” Representing yourself in Illinois is a lose-lose proposition.
