A Boston man linked by DNA evidence to a series of sexual assaults has been indicted by a grand jury for four attacks on various women over the span of four years, Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley announced Wednesday.

Alejandro Done, 29, is facing nine charges for alleged attacks that took place along the Esplanade and in the South Boston area. He has been formally charged with rape, assault with intent to rape, kidnapping and armed robbery.

Here’s a look at when each reported attack took place:

• Rape on July 29, 2006, in Joe Moakley Park
• Rape and assault with intent to rape on June 16, 2007, along the Esplanade
• Aggravated rape, assault with intent to rape, kidnapping, and armed robbery on July 29, 2007, along the Esplanade
• Aggravated rape and kidnapping for an assault on June 13, 2010, near Preble Circle

In each attack, prosecutors allege Done targeted women who were walking or jogging by themselves at night or during the early-morning hours. DNA evidence collected after each assault was entered into the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System.

The cases went unsolved until July of 2015, when State Police investigators matched the assailant’s DNA profile to Done, who was arrested last year in connection with another sexual assault in Cambridge.

Done was arraigned on July 20 in South Boston Municipal Court and again on July 23 in Boston Municipal Court in connection with the assaults.

He was ordered held without bail after dangerousness hearings in both courts and continues to be held without bail while the case against him in Middlesex County remains pending.
