Parking Lot Sex Assault Suspect Charged In New Cases

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A man accused of a brutal sexual assault in a downtown parking ramp is now charged with two other cases.

Peijan Hodges was charged last week with four counts of criminal sexual conduct after he allegedly followed a woman to her car and raped her.

According to new charges, he attacked another woman in the same parking ramp just two hours prior.

In that attack, Hodges is accused of bear hugging the woman and forcing her to the ground. A man getting off the elevator scared Hodges away.

He is also charged in another case a few weeks earlier where he grabbed a woman's buttocks and breasts.

He remains in the Hennepin County Jail.
