A Fairfield man charged in connection to an Easton sexual assault incident is suspected in another similar case.
Police say Joseph Kolenda sexually assaulted and robbed a woman in November. The other incident occurred last month.
Investigators say both victims reported being picked up in Bridgeport for what they thought were cleaning jobs. They were then held against their will, assaulted and then dropped off on a road in Easton.
