of an evolving investigation stemming from a reported 4th degree
sexual assault over the weekend.
On

Prince
George’s County Police detectives are now looking at two additional reports in
the same area over the last month as a result of the ongoing investigation into
this incident. At this point, it’s unclear whether the same suspect is linked
to these incidents. Detectives are working to develop suspect(s)
information. None of the cases occurred at the same address:
