Man Faces Multiple Sex Assault Charges In Fredericksburg: Police

FREDERICKSBURG, VA—A man was arrested Monday, June 3, on multiple sexual assault charges, and authorities believe there may be other victims, according to Fredericksburg Police. Larry Owens, 58, of the 300 block of Wolfe Street in Fredericksburg, was charged with three charges of aggravated sexual battery, one charge of forcible sodomy and one charge of possession of a schedule IV drug.
