Hamilton Police have arrested a Hamilton man as a result of an investigation into three separate sexual assaults that occurred in West Hamilton.

On April 29, 2019, and July 26, 2019, lone female residents were sexually assaulted after a male who was not known to them, entered their residence and sexually assaulted them.
