Matthew Muller, who pleaded guilty to the 2016 kidnapping and sexual assault of Denise Huskins, is facing new charges related to two home invasions from 2009.
Matthew Muller, who pleaded guilty to kidnapping and sexually assaulting Denise Huskins, has been charged with two other home invasions and assaults from 2009, prosecutors announced on Monday. In the first attack, on Sept. 29, 2009, Muller allegedly broke into a woman’s home in Mountain View, tied her up, forced her drink a mix of medications and told her he was going to rape her, prosecutors said.
The woman 'persuaded him against it,' and Muller then allegedly suggested she get a dog and fled the scene, prosecutors said. Weeks later, on Oct. 18, 2009, Muller allegedly broke into a home in Palo Alto, bound and gagged a woman and forced her to drink NyQuil, prosecutors said. 'He then began to assault her, before being persuaded to stop,' prosecutors said. 'Muller gave the victim crime prevention advice, then fled.' While 'following a new lead,' investigators sent all the evidence from both scenes for further testing, and thanks to 'advances in forensic DNA testing,' Muller’s DNA was recovered from straps used to bind one of the victims, prosecutors said Monday. Muller, a former U.S. Marine who attended Harvard Law School, faces two felony counts of committing a sexual assault during a home invasion, prosecutors said
