WOODBRIDGE, VA — A Woodbridge man was arrested last week after authorities said he gave drugs to underage girls before sexually assaulting them.

Authorities identified the man as 35-year-old Balmore Alexander Ortiz Guardado. He is charged with one count of aggravated sexual battery, two counts of object sexual penetration, and four counts of distribution of narcotics to a minor.
