Clark, a part-time Burger King employee who first drew detectives' suspicions when they went to interview his sex-offender father, has pleaded not guilty and was being held in lieu of $5 million bail.

``I just know he's a good person,'' said one sister, who did not want to be named. ``He watched my friend's kids. He never did anything like that.''

White said Clark receives Social Security payments for a mental disability, though detectives testified they noticed no signs of mental impairment when they talked to him.

Clark became a suspect as detectives were visiting registered sex offenders sex offender n. generic term for all persons convicted of crimes involving sex, including rape, molestation, sexual harassment and pornography production or distribution. who live in west Palmdale. Those included his 60-year-old father, who was convicted of molesting a girl in the mid-1980s.
The father was not home, but they spoke to the son, who aroused suspicion when he told them he had been at the mall the day of the rape to see a movie.
Detectives said the younger Clark, who resembled a man seen in mall security camera footage, failed a lie-detector test and confessed Sept. 18 to the crime.
The girl told investigators that she was spending the day with her father at the mall where he worked. The father let her buy a ticket for the movie, ``Barnyard,'' and prearranged pre·ar·range

pre to meet at 1 p.m. during the middle of the film for a birthday party event at a mall corporate office, O'Quinn said.
When she got up to leave the movie, she saw an African-American man standing at the rear of the theater who watched her as she exited, O'Quinn said. She said the man wore a white T-shirt and dark blue or black jogging-style pants with white stripes down the seams, O'Quinn said.
After meeting with her father, she returned to the theater to finish watching the movie and saw the same man standing near the entrance, O'Quinn said.
``As she walked by him, he grabbed her by the arm and said, `Let's go Let's Go may refer to: Television

Once they got to the doorway, the girl said the man ``picked her up in a side-carry-type fashion off the ground with his other hand over her mouth and carried her in,'' O'Quinn said.
The girl said the man carried her down the center aisle inside the dimly lit, empty theater to the front of the theater past the screen through a fire-exit door, O'Quinn said.
The girl said she flipped open her cell phone to try to call for help, but the man saw what she was doing, said ``No'' and grabbed it from her, O'Quinn said.
They ended up in a fire exit hallway where the assailant removed all of her clothing except for her pink T-shirt, which he pulled over her face, and sexually assaulted her, O'Quinn said.
After the attack, the girl found her way to the outside of the mall where she was found by a mall employee on a smoke break.
The mall employee, Vickie Crum, testified the girl emerged from the mall crying and wearing only a pink T-shirt and carrying a pair of tennis shoes tennis shoes npl → zapatillas fpl de tenis

The girl said, ``He raped me and stole my cell phone,'' and also said she ``wanted her daddy,'' Crum testified.
In an interview before his arrest, O'Quinn said, Clark admitted to pulling the girl into the empty theater and placing his genitals against hers.
Clark said he walked out of the mall after the attack and then came back inside, carrying the victim's clothing under his shirt, and ate lunch at the mall McDonald's before riding home on his bicycle, O'Quinn said.
Under cross-examination by White, O'Quinn said that Clark initially denied committing the assault and then began answering questions as to his involvement about two hours later.
O'Quinn also said there were two other suspects, one a man who deputies said had been looking inappropriately at children at the food court and whom the victim identified as possibly the person who attacked her.
The second was a registered sex offender who lived near the mall and on whose home sheriff's search dogs alerted. Deputies found two pairs of jogging pants with white stripes, O'Quinn said.
O'Quinn said the girl was never shown a photograph lineup with Clark's picture because it was determined that she never got a good look at her attacker's face, O'Quinn said.
When the girl saw a photo of Clark, she indicated she didn't believe that he was her attacker, according to according to

The search of Clark's home also turned up the ticket for the movie, the musical ``Idlewild,'' he had seen, ladies underwear and newspaper articles about the mall assault, O'Quinn said.
Clark told O'Quinn that the jeans he was wearing were the same pair he wore on the day of the incident. O'Quinn said the pants had two rows of white thread ``that appear to give the appearance of white stripes.''
Clark is younger than the description originally provided by detectives of the rapist, who was said to be about 35 to 45 years old, and he has no graying mustache like that shown in the composite drawing created from the victim's description.
O'Quinn said Clark told him that he did not have a mustache but that he used to have one and shaved it.
The girl also said her attacker had an accent that might be Nigerian. Sheriff's Detective Steven Scott Saylor testified that Clark spoke with a slight speech impediment.
White asked Saylor if he noticed unusual behavior by the defendant, if he was odd, different or quiet. ``I didn't see anything unusual as far as having a conversation with him,'' Saylor said.
White asked if Clark seemed to be a man of ordinary intelligence. ``Yes, he did,'' Saylor replied.
