A Lincoln man was arrested on suspicion of first-degree sexual assault more than a year after the incident is alleged to have occurred, according to police. Joesef Barraza, 24, was already incarcerated at the Lancaster County Jail when Lincoln police contacted and arrested him there on Thursday, Officer Erin Spilker said. Investigators had searched multiple accounts belonging to Barraza on unrelated cases, where they found videos of him sexually assaulting an unconscious woman, Spilker said. Police contacted the woman, who said she believed she was drugged by Barraza but had no memory of the incident, which took place on Aug. 30, 2020, at Barraza’s home near 42nd and Orchard streets.
