A Charlotte man was arrested Monday after police said he was involved in the robbery and sexual assault of a 72-year-old woman in December.
Police were called to a home around 4 a.m. Dec. 9, where two elderly women said a man was in their apartment while they were asleep. The two victims, a 94-year-old woman and her 72-year-old daughter, woke up to the man making noise, police said.
The man then assaulted the mother and sexually assaulted her daughter, according to officials.
Police said they identified 23-year-old Tai’Quan Rodgers as a suspect in the case, and he was charged with sexual battery and first-degree burglary.
Rodgers also faces an assault on a female charge, police said.
Detectives are reviewing similar cases to determine whether Rodgers is responsible for those as well, according to officials.
