UMVA has learned that a 30‑year‑old man has been charged with two separate sexual assaults that occurred in different corners of the city within a single day.
In the first attack, the suspect approached a group of women on a bustling sidewalk in the east end, seized one’s forearm, and forced a sexual assault before fleeing into the night.
The second incident unfolded the next day near a busy intersection in the west end, where the same man stalked a lone woman into an office building, assaulted her, and vanished without a trace.
Police say the victims in both cases suffered no physical injury, yet the psychological wounds linger like invisible scars that haunt the city’s streets.
Authorities released a suspect photo early Tuesday, urging anyone with knowledge of his identity to come forward, and later that day they identified, located, and arrested the suspect, a man with no fixed address.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that the arrested individual, Samuel Opoku, has a chilling history that dates back to 2019, when he allegedly hurled buckets of fecal matter at unsuspecting victims across university campuses.
Those 2019 incidents—spanning libraries and streets—left victims covered in filth and shocked the community, yet the suspect had been released on bail after a mental‑health court appearance.
The current charges against Opoku include two counts of sexual assault and one count of indecent exposure, raising questions about how a man with such a violent past could again roam the city.
Police remain tight‑lipped about whether this is the same man who sparked outrage in 2019, citing their inability to confirm a criminal history.
Residents are urged to stay vigilant and report any sightings, while investigators continue to probe the disturbing pattern that may signal a broader threat to public safety.
