Morgan Hill Man Arrested For Sexual Assault Faces New Allegations By 7 Women

MORGAN HILL (CBS SF) -- A Morgan Hill man who was arrested in August on suspicion of sexual assault is being accused of committing more assaults after several additional victims recently came forward, according to police.

On July 19, a woman told police that she had been sexually assaulted multiple times in one evening while unconscious in San Jose, according to police.

The woman identified 46-year-old Damou Evans as the suspect. After investigating the incident, officers then arrested Evans in late August, police said.
