By Amie Cribley

(CBS4) DENVER A man was charged with three incidents of sexual assault 12 years after the crimes due to DNA evidence.

Blias Reddin, 41, is accused of attacking an 84-year-old woman in May of 1994 and attacking a 56-year-old woman in June and August of 1994.

Police said in both cases Reddin crawled through their windows, sexually assaulted them and then fled.

The evidence was investigated by Denver's Cold Case DNA Project which consists of detectives, the Denver police crime lab and the District Attorney's office.

Reddin was previously accused of assault and is serving a 10-year prison sentence. His hearing for the new charges has not been scheduled yet.
