Clermont investigating two sexual assaults

FELICITY - Clermont County sheriff's deputies are investigating two reported sexual assaults in this small Clermont County village that occurred within a week.

In each case, an intruder got into a home and assaulted a young female resident, said Clermont County Sheriff A.J. "Tim" Rodenberg.

The first assault happened March 2 when a man entered a home and sexually assaulted a sleeping 12-year-old girl, authorities said. A purse also was taken and was found near the home.

The second assault occurred four days later and involved an 18-year-old victim.

The locations of the attacks were not released.

It remains unclear if the incidents are related, authorities said.

No description of the suspects was available.
