SANTA CLARA — The Santa Clara Police Department is seeking the public’s help in identifying a suspect who has now sexually assaulted a second woman in her apartment.

According to police, officers have now responded to two similar incidents of burglary and sexual assault.

The first, reported on February 13th at approximately 1:30 AM, involved a male suspect entering an apartment and assaulting its tenant in the area of Lick Mill Boulevard and Hope Drive. After the attack, the suspect fled. He is described as a 20- to 30-year-old male, approximately 5’7″ and 180 lbs, with dark hair and a medium build.

The second attack, reported on February 20th at approximately 3 AM, took place when the suspect entered another apartment in the same area only to be confronted by the occupant and scared off. Police believe the similar locations constitute a similar motive.
