hitchhiker Jesus Monge, asking him about homosexuality before offering him twenty dollars to orally copulate him. When Monge attempted to exit the vehicle, Bonin punched his stomach and chest before squeezing his genitals, handcuffing him, and forcing Monge to orally copulate him. During the assault, Bonin threatened Monge, stating, "I'll rip your nuts off if you don't cool it." This victim was also sodomized. By this point, extensive efforts were being made by local police to locate a potential serial rapist that fit Bonin's description. On January 28, 1969, at 2:30 a.m., an El Segundo policewoman confronted Bonin, who had frightened 16-year-old runaway Timothy Wilson present with him in his mother's vehicle.

In May 1969, Bonin recounted to a probation officer his recent stressful separation and admitted his guilt in molesting male youths, although he also expressed desire to start a family and become a pilot upon his release. He also expressed a belief that his Vietnam service contributed to his criminal behavior, emphasizing his difficulties in seducing female partners since his return. In the final evaluation, he was found to be "seriously lacking insight and responsibility" for crimes committed since his childhood. Bonin pleaded guilty to molestation and forced oral
