Man Accused Of Sexual Assault At Henry Doorly Zoo

An Omaha man is accused of sexually assaulting a teenage girl at  Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo on Monday. 

Forty-one-year old Miguel Memije-Reyes was arrested Monday following the alleged sexual assault around 10:45 am.

Omaha Police say a 15-year old girl said that an unknown man approached her from behind in the Kingdoms of the Night Exhibit and "engaged in sexual contact over the clothing." 

The girl immediately found her mother and told her what had happened. Police say the victim’s step-father found the suspect and chased him until the zoo security staff arrived to assist.  

Memije-Reyes was arrested and later booked for third degree sexual assault.
