The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office arrested Lee Charles Lubonne after two alleged sexual-assault suspects described his house, vehicle, and identified him from a photo lineup.

Judging from what sex-crime detectives found in his house, the Sheriff's Office is thinking there's a "possibility" there may be more victims, and Lubonne, a 44-year-old father of two, "may" be a suspected serial sexual predator.

The items found at his house include various recording devices, a duffel bag filled with "sexual apparatus[es]," a bag of what detectives believe are "trophies" -- including medication bottles, printouts of profiles of women from social-networking websites, and maps -- as well as 13 hard drives and thumb drives locked in a safe, according to the Sheriff's Office.

The to-do lists found in his car and home also aroused the suspicions of detectives, as one said he had to meet one of the victims and buy zip ties, and another "stated his desire to stop being a 'sex pig' and to find Jesus," according to MCSO.

As of now, the Sheriff's Office says Lubonne is a suspect in "at least two" sexual assaults, both of whom met Lubonne through Craigslist.

The first woman called 911, saying she was kidnapped and sexually assaulted in a Litchfield Park home on Saturday.

While being treated by doctors at the hospital, the sheriff's office says the 33-year-old woman told detectives Lubonne contacted her under the guise of wanting to hire her as a professional photographer, and they met Saturday at a west Valley coffee shop.

"The victim claims she was then drugged, forcibly undressed, and was sexually assaulted," according to MCSO.

The sheriff's office says the name and address the woman provided matched another case, of a 15-year-old girl who said she was raped by a man she met on Craigslist while she was seeking babysitting jobs.

Both alleged victims identified Lubonne from a photo lineup, and both described Lubonne's home, bedroom, and vehicle.

Sheriff Arpaio says "it's very important that everyone take a good hard look at this man and if they have any information, no matter how seemingly insignificant, call us."

That number would be 602-876-1011 if you're interested.

Lubonne's currently behind held without bond on charges of sexual assault, kidnapping, and sexual abuse.
