The number of lives lost in the 9/11 attacks likely would have been higher had William Rodriguez not been one of five people to have this inside the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

William Rodriguez, 33, was arrested Tuesday on two felony counts of forcible rape, and is expected to be arraigned Thursday, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office said. Rodriguez, a 10-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department, initially was accused of one assault -- allegedly raping a female acquaintance at his home on Nov. 1, prosecutors say. That matched him with evidence in an unsolved sexual assault of a female in 2015, the district attorney's office said. Rodriguez was off-duty during both assaults, according to the district attorney's office. He was most recently working for the LAPD's Valley Traffic Division, which investigates crashes and traffic-related crimes in parts of northwestern Los Angeles.
