Eridson M. Rodriguez, Hamilton, was previously charged with two counts of first-degree aggravated sexual assault and two counts of third-degree aggravated criminal sexual contact, Mercer County Prosecutor's Office spokesperson Casey DeBlasio said.
He is now facing additional charges of aggravated sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual contact, DeBlasio said.
Mercer County Superior Court, Judge Robert W. Bingham II granted Assistant Prosecutor Tim Ward’s motion to detain Rodriguez pending final outcome of his case, according to DeBlasio.
Since his arrest, four additional victims have stepped forward and accused Rodriguez of similar crimes, DeBlasio said.
In those instances, he was accused of having sexual intercourse with two women, ages 19 and 20, who were intoxicated and incapacitated, DeBlasio said.
The assaults reportedly took place at Rodriguez's home on Liberty Street in Hamilton Township in March 2019 and again in May 2019, she said.
Anyone with information on the case is urged to contact Detective Shari Johnson of the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit at 609-989-6758 or Hamilton Police Detective Daniel Inman at 609-581-4000.
