A 19-year-old Cupertino man was arrested last month for allegedly committing a string of sexual attacks in San Jose, police announced Tuesday.
Josiah Adorno was booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail on suspicion of multiple crimes, including false imprisonment and felony sexual battery, according to San Jose police.
Adorno came to the attention of law enforcement after he allegedly approached a woman from behind while she was in a small parking lot in the 2800 block of Stevens Creek Boulevard on March 19.
The woman was walking to her car at about 9:40 p.m. when Adorno allegedly sexually assaulted her over her clothing and she fell to the ground as she was fighting him off, police said.
Adorno then allegedly fled before officers arrived and the woman was taken to a hospital and treated for injuries that weren’t considered life-threatening.
During the investigation, detectives discovered that Adorno was allegedly responsible for two similar attacks in San Jose and obtained an arrest warrant. He was arrested in San Jose on May 26.
Due to the nature of the alleged crime, detectives believe there may be additional survivors.
Anyone with information about this case or similar cases is urged to contact Detective Hoang of the San Jose Police Sexual Assaults Investigation Unit at 4684@sanjoseca.gov or (408) 277-4102.
