He has been charged as an adult with kidnapping, battery with intent to commit sexual assault, sexual assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy to commit kidnapping.

His bail has been set at $500,000 and, according to the Las Vegas Sun,  he is scheduled for his next court appearance on Nov. 14.

In 2010, a woman was attacked in a parking lot across the street from the Fashion Show Mall. The attacker in that case, a convicted sex offender, watched the woman, a mall employee, walk to her car in the parking lot and followed her.

He was apprehended shortly after the attack and charged with 9 counts relating to the attack.

Metro Police have released a sketch of Goin, who is considered a fugitive.

Anyone with information about him is urged to call Metro Police at (702) 828-3421. Anonymous tipsters can call Crime stoppers at (702) 385-5555 or visit crimestoppersofnv.com.
