A man was arrested in Cleveland, Ohio last month after prosecutors were able to match DNA evidence linking him to two sexual assaults that happened 25 years ago in Lake View and Portage Park.
In the 1997 case, a 28-year-old woman was half-asleep in her home on March 4 when Roldan broke in, entered her bedroom and sat at the edge of her bed, prosecutors said.
Roldan grabbed the woman, pulled her to the floor put his hand over her mouth and sexually assaulted her, prosecutors said. Roldan attacked another woman less than a year later on Jan. 25, 1998, prosecutors said. The 22-year-old was walking near Sheffield and Wellington avenues about 1:40 a.m. when she heard a car with a loud muffler drive up, prosecutors said.
When the woman turned onto Wellington, Roldan was waiting for her in an alley, prosecutors said. He grabbed the woman by the arm and put her in his car. The woman tried to escape but Roldan kept locking the doors, prosecutors said. He sexually assaulted the woman twice.
