Possible Aurora connection to Lakewood sex assault arrest

AURORA | A Lakewood man arrested in connection with two separate sex assaults in metro Denver may also be connected to an Aurora sex assault, 9 News is reporting

Mark Patrick O’Leary, 32, was arrested Sunday and is being held on a $5 million bond. 

O’Leary is a suspect in a sexual assault in August in Westminster and another last month in Golden. Police say the attacks were both committed by strangers and had many similarities. As the investigation expanded, authorities say they discovered a similar attempted sexual assault in Lakewood in July.

The television station reported that Aurora police also have a case that could be linked to O’Leary. An Aurora woman was sexually assaulted in October 2009 in the southeast part of the city, the station reported. 

We have a call in to APD about this and will update when we hear back. 

Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.
