Ayanna Marie Knight, one of the women caught on tape forcibly twerking on a D.C. man, was arrested and charged with third degree sexual assault. Police revealed that Knight has previously been arrested for prostitution, and they added that they are still searching for the second woman in the video. 

The man who was assaulted also spoke out on the incident, as he told NBC Washington, "I was assaulted sexually. I felt 100 percent violated. I felt really humiliated also, because when someone is just grabbing your body parts without your permission, no matter who it is, that's just a violation completely."

Two women are wanted for third-degree sexual assault after they were filmed harassing a man inside of a D.C. convenience store, and police are asking for help in identifying the suspects. 

Surveillance footage shows two women in short dresses paying for something at the counter while a man stands behind them. Without saying anything to the man, one of the women backs up and starts twerking on his lap, and when he turns away the other woman grabs his crotch. 

Check out the shocking footage above.
